Firstly, happy new year! Trust that you've managed to enjoy some time with loved ones over the festive season
Yes, noted that Trading 212 may have it's benefits. I suppose for small trading amounts it's better. However, if you start investing with sums of 1,000 pounds or more I'd suggest staying away from platforms like that. They market themselves as being free from commission fees, however they kill you with their spreads. For example, their spread for UKW is ~1.5%, almost 10X more that other brokers. Unsure about 212's other fees, but many such trading platforms ALSO charge a holding fee, meaning that whilst you save on commission, you could be spending several times more in reality.
Anyway, all the best with your investing
