FAQ’s
-
Freetrade is authorised and regulated in the UK by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Client money and investments are held separately from Freetrade’s own funds (“ring‑fenced”), and uninvested cash is protected under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) up to £85,000 per person per platform.
That said: investing with Freetrade (or any broker) still means your investments are subject to market risk — the value of shares or funds can go down as well as up. FSCS protection does not guard against losses from poor investment performance.
-
Freetrade and Trading 212 both offer commission-free trading for stocks and ETFs, fractional shares, and mobile-friendly platforms. Freetrade is generally better for long-term investors seeking ISAs and SIPPs, with a clean, easy-to-use interface, while Trading 212 can be more appealing for cost-conscious users and those seeking slightly broader trading options (like CFDs or lower FX fees). Many investors even use both platforms depending on whether they’re focused on long-term investing or more active trading.
