Sinclayer said that stock-o-share can learn from the success of Sweden’s Investor Sparkanto without chargeing fees on ISAT.
“I see UK brokers who still pay you the fee for staying in stock-and-share isa. Is it really needed?” He “The way we come to the account type in the United States is easy to get out that customers should not be charged to open an account here.”
He also said that Robinhood has the opportunity to allow US investors to buy equity in the UK. “When we talk about capital flow, a small piece of the US market is abundant,” he said.
