    Vanguard Investor Review

    Low-cost ready-made investment portfolios. Huge global player. Fair. Good choice to get started as a default option. It’s still a bit lacking in help and support.

    Holly Mackay's View

    Low-cost, no frills investing. Their LifeStrategy funds offer readymade investment solutions and with over 30 million mostly happy customers globally this feels like a safe option for most. Beginners (or tired parents) will need to choose from 5 flavours of the LifeStrategy funds for an easy ‘set and forget’ choice which can pretty much be left alone as Junior goes from nappies to nights out in the pub! Low-cost. Low maintenance. Fair value.

    I think the company is very easy to get involved in and they have a great selection of products but they have a tendency to talk down to folk

    Is Vanguard JISA right for you?

    Ease of use

    This site is simple so you won’t get lost. Beginners should hunt out the LifeStrategy range which will remove choice and get you up and running.

    There isn’t much help to get from A to B and there is a lot of work to be done with building supporting tools, content and calculators. But what we did do worked well and no complaints.

    Mobile & Apps

    Vanguard Investor are yet to launch a mobile app, but the site is quite simple to use on mobile.

    They have a mobile app for US customers so we would expect an app to be launching in the UK in the near future.

    Facts, Fees & Behind the Scenes at Vanguard

    Vanguard is a weird exception to the rule in that the site is better once logged in than the other way around. It works smoothly enough and the screens are easy to read, compute and move around.

    Trading and funding the account were easy.

    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.
