What’s New In Investments, Funds? – Coller Capital, Saxo UK

Coller Capital
has launched a new investment platform designed for the growing community of buy-and-hold and active investors in the UK. 

SaxoInvestor provides one place where investors can invest in almost everything such as stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), bonds and mutual funds. Saxo Bank, which currently provides customers with access to over 70,000 instruments globally, said it has experienced significant growth in its investor base over the last 12 months, with a 38 per cent increase in active investors. Notably, the platform has seen a 20 per cent rise in female investors during this period. Younger investors are also on the rise, with a 46 per cent increase among those aged 21 to 30 and a 24 per cent increase in the 31 to 40 age group, the firm added.

Saxo UK said it has recognised the growing trend of buy-and-hold investors in the UK, particularly those holding stocks and shares ISAs. With high inflation continuing to impact returns, investment platforms with competitive pricing are becoming increasingly attractive. 

SaxoInvestor offers investors a user-friendly interface where they can consolidate all their investments in one place. With low commissions and foreign exchange fees at 0.25 per cent, investors can trade at their convenience, taking advantage of extended trading hours. The multicurrency account allows for seamless management of multiple currencies, while idle funds can earn interest. Investors can access expert insights and investment themes to guide their strategy, and maximise tax-efficient savings by holding all these benefits within an ISA.

As part of this launch, Saxo is offering $0 commissions on 100 of the most popular US stocks from 1 October to 31 December across all its platforms, in anticipation of the US election. Investors can access curated stock shortlists tailored to likely election scenarios, offering a strategic opportunity to diversify portfolios and reduce risk.
