    Many investors assume that using their existing bank for investments is the safest and most convenient choice. After all, shouldn't the institution that handles your day-to-day finances be well-positioned to grow your wealth? While this seems logical, the reality of bank investment platforms like NatWest Invest reveals a more nuanced picture.

    NatWest Invest offers a range of ready-made funds designed to match investors to a basket of investments suited to their goals and risk tolerance. But behind the familiar brand lies a service with specific limitations and strengths that could impact your financial decisions.

    What Our Analysis Reveals

    Our comprehensive review of NatWest Invest uncovered several key findings that potential investors should consider:

    • Limited Investment Universe: NatWest Invest offers only 5 investment options

    • Competitive Fee Structure

    • Strong Customer Satisfaction: Based on 742 reviews, 76% of customers would recommend the service

    For NatWest banking customers (you must be an existing customer to open an account), the platform's integration with online banking creates a seamless experience that makes investing accessible.

    The Critical Decision Point

    When evaluating NatWest Invest, understanding the tradeoff between simplicity and flexibility becomes crucial. The service's five ready-made funds—ranging from Defensive to Adventurous—are managed by Coutts & Co, part of the NatWest Banking Group and the eighth oldest bank in the world.

    Important stuffHolly and the team have worked in the finance industry for many years but we are not regulated to give you personal financial advice. For every story on this website about a good investment, or something which went up by 10% or made someone £200, we could also share a story about a bad investment, something which fell in value or lost someone £200. We aim to provide general information and pointers – and btw we are totally agnostic about which providers you might pick – but if you have complex affairs, want personalised advice or need specific recommendations, please look at advice pages and see if regulated digital or traditional financial advice would be the best solution for your needs.

    Risk warningAs is always the case with investing, your capital is at risk. The value of your portfolio can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invest. Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and may change in the future.
