      I’m shocked to see that Charles Stanley Direct’s new fee structure (from 1st August) will massively increase the maximum annual platform charges for holding shares from £240 per year to £600. Plus an unchanged £504 per year if you hold a Crest Personal Membership account.
      They’re also reducing the maximum platform charges for unit trust and OEIC holdings, but this is a pretty massive increase for holders of shares.
      And as far as I’m aware I now have nowhere else to go for a Crest Personal Membership account.

        I’ve just been migrated to ii from Share Centre.
        There was some concern that Share Centre clients who were moved across to ii would find it more difficult to vote their shares.
        So I was very pleasantly surprised to receive an email from ii on 29th January actually drawing attention to their “Voting and Information Portal”.
        I’ve been with a good number of shareholding platforms and brokers over the years, but never before has a platform or broker drawn my attention to its voting facilities.
