About Freetrade

Our mission to make investing accessible

When you invest, your capital is at risk

We’re an award-winning self-directed investment platform.

Freetrade exists to help retail investors in the UK meet their short and long term financial goals. Whether that’s saving for a home, education, or retirement, Freetrade has the tools and products to set investors up for success.

Launched in 2018, we pioneered commission-free investing in the UK. Since then, we’ve built a fully featured investment platform covering US, UK, and European stocks, funds, gilts, Treasury bills, tax-wrapped accounts, and more, to help you meet your goals.

Freetrade is a part of the FTSE 100 fintech, IG Group. With a pioneering track record in investment of over fifty years, IG Group provides Freetrade with the right foundations for the next phase of its growth.

We’ve won dozens of awards and earned hard-fought industry recognition for delivering outstanding service and value to our customers.

Simple, low fees

Investing is all about managing uncertainty. That’s why we want to help our investors control what they can, especially the fees they pay.

With Freetrade, you know exactly what you’re paying. Clear pricing, with no account fees and no commission.

A modern, purpose-built tech platform
We’ve built our cloud-native brokerage platform from scratch, giving us the flexibility to adapt and scale as we grow. We built it to handle extreme volumes, with the flexibility to develop features quickly.

Our brokerage platform connects directly to the plumbing of the capital markets. By eliminating intermediaries relied on by other platforms, we can provide our services to you for less cost.

Our tech has proven to be resilient in times of high market volatility, providing you with the reassurance that we’ll be able to support you regardless of market conditions.
Our team
We’re a dedicated team of individuals from a wide range of backgrounds united by our mission to help both new and experienced investors in the UK achieve their financial goals.
