Deciding where to invest

For some investors nothing beats the thrill of choosing their own stocks and shares. Others prefer to entrust the choice of shares to experts and choose funds. However, the choice of over 2,000 funds can at times be a little daunting but we help you in many ways to identify the funds that show the potential to perform well.

The Wealth 150 - A list of our favourite funds in each sector. It is a great way to find funds our investment team think show potential and start building your portfolio. You can also stay up to date by viewing all the latest additions and removals to the list.

Latest investment ideas - If 150 funds is still a little too much to choose from, you’ll find the Latest Investment Ideas section of our website a great help.

Get a little more help from the experts - Over the last few years multi-manager funds have become an increasingly popular way to invest. They offer you the chance to put an expert in charge of choosing from the finest fund managers and bringing them together for you in a single, convenient managed portfolio. More about the Hargreaves Lansdown Multi-Manager Funds.

Or you could opt for advice - If you have portfolios worth more than £100,000, our Portfolio Management Service can take away responsibility of managing your own investments. You will receive personal advice from a professional adviser and hand over the day-to-day running of your portfolio to our expert investment team.

Cash at a competitive rate of interest - As well as funds, you can also hold cash within your Vantage ISA. You’ll receive a competitive rate of interest and it is a useful option if you want to make a deposit, then invest as the opportunities arise. It also gives you the flexibility to sell a fund and wait before reinvesting the proceeds.
