Hi everyone, i'm interested in opening a stocks & shares ISA so i can invest in a couple of investment funds (something to do while waiting for house prices to become more affordable)... I was looking on moneysavingexpert and they said the cheapest was Chartwell Investment (which uses Fidelity FundsNetwork) and the next cheapest was Hargreaves & Lansdowne.

I've seen Hargreaves & Lansdowne being recommended a few times here, but has anyone used Fidelity FundsNetwork? Also, i noticed that H&L have loads of details about each fund on their site (which i have found very useful) but do you any extra info when you open an account with them? (i'm happy to use the cheapest ISA, and just check the H&L web site regularly for fund performance etc)..

Thanks in advance!

Newly opened Jupiter China fund looks promising - 35% growth since Oct 2006

Thinking of investing myself around May..

I've used Fidelity FundsNetwork before - I have a UK tracker fund with them. The fund has done fairly well and the annual management charges of 0.1% are very reasonable for a fund. However, I find their website very slow and slightly awkward to use. If the comparison helps, Selftrade is much easier to navigate. Also, Fidelity require you to fax a signed print-out of a form whenever you want to sell any of your investments - I'm not sure if this is standard practice but it's very annoying, especially as I don't have a fax machine.
