III very bad for shrecentre customers. Doubt they have flexible ISA options and do they even offer telephone trading. III looks like a bucket shop broker probably American backed rubbish

Who are they, who backs them, prefer a name like Hargreaves.

Interactive Investors seem to be going for market share. II are currently changing their fee structure to attract more actively dealing clients. I can't compare II with other dealing platforms but it's very good value for money and works well.

[montyhedge] 03/5/2019 11:19

Yes, hopefully a bidding war.

[tenapen] 03/5/2019 11:18

Someone wants the J.P.Morgan accounts that Share Centre have reciently bagged !.

Well Done.

[montyhedge] 03/5/2019 11:12

In talks with Interactive Investors, rns out. I hope not, I like Share Plc has it is.
HL I prefer I think they may come in, surely got to be 55p.

[thamestrader] 03/5/2019 11:11

Scrub that!

[thamestrader] 03/5/2019 11:10

If there is a takeover, I would hope it is NOT Hargreaves, as this would mean my two biggest accounts coming under one roof, preventing me sleeping at night. (There speaks a victim of the Beaufort saga. -Ed.)

[montyhedge] 03/5/2019 11:06

Wow in talks possible offer.

[tenapen] 03/5/2019 10:50

I don't hold, but seeing this / HL. & AJBell all fly bodes well for the sector !!!.

I can but hope ;-)

Keep a eye on the volume, shareprices talk and this saying something going on.

[montyhedge] 03/5/2019 09:37

Hargreaves Lansdown, Share Group a perfect fit. 55p, I think I would take that.

[gateside] 03/5/2019 08:35

Wonder if there is some takeover speculation?

[montyhedge] 02/5/2019 16:34

Good gain wonder why?

The only problem is getting through to the dealing team if you have to make a telephone deal, can take a long time, in which time you miss the price. They have to bulk up the dealing team and answer the phone quicker.

Glad to report my experience so far has been very positive.

[montyhedge] 17/12/2018 14:22

Dealt with brokers over the years. The Share Centre must admit one of the best I have dealt with, professional and good value.

[heorot1] 30/9/2018 16:42

It wouldn't. I bought the minimum 500 in 2015 to get the extra transaction discount but I paid 0.375 per share so at present I am sitting on a £68 loss. In the three years I have held, I have had just under £13 in divis. I transferred to the Self Select ISA a few years ago to avoid capital gains and would recommend it if you think your trades will hit the Capital Gains threshold. The ISA account fees are £57.90pa and the Share Account fees are £21.60pa.

Now safely on board ex-Beaufort, and so far so good.

Optional £24 for this quarter has paid for itself already. Happy days.

Next question, should I buy shares in SHRE to get even cheaper dealing? Based on 60 trades/year, and assuming a 0.4p annual dividend, but zero share price growth (wild assumptions, i know), 500 shares would pay for themselves in a year. But 500 shares is a silly investment. Odd that they give this perk in exchange for such a small investment.

Of course if there was any prospect of them actually going up a penny or two, I would buy a decent wad of shares. Hopefully the retention of a chunk of ex-Beaufort customers will improve their prospects.

[heorot1] 22/9/2018 12:50

I have to agree. I first looked at using an online broker over 20 years ago and chose the Share Centre. Over the years they have improved their service and kept ahead of their competitors. I have kept an eye on alternative brokers and read their reviews and have never been tempted to change.

[montyhedge] 10/8/2018 18:13

Must admit The Share Centre one of the best value professional stockbrockers I have used over the years.

[topvest] 09/8/2018 19:31

Impressive AUM growth. Need to start converting the revenue growth into sustained profitability. Interest rate increases will certainly help.

[thamestrader] 09/8/2018 16:58

Yes, I saw that. Could be a plan, even though they have traded mostly sideways/downwards.

[eeza] 09/8/2018 16:43

Buy 500 shares in TheShareCentre and your trades will be £5.25.
