## Resource

A shake up is happening in the world of DIY investing. Some of the biggest investment platforms are overhauling their fees ahead of Rachel Reeves' big push to get Britain investing - and under pressure from upstarts offering much cheaper services. The biggest name of all, Hargreaves Lansdown, has cut its prices for most investors, yet this seems to have triggered a chunk to jump ship. So, why are some HL investors moving if things are getting cheaper - and is it time we all looked at our investment platform fees? Georgie Frost, Rachel Rickard Straus and Simon Lambert discuss the latest DIY investing battle and what it means for your portfolio - plus what you should look for if you do want cheaper investing or a helping hand. With nearly £1trillion in Isas, how did people build up such big pots and could they end up being a target for a tax raid. What's going on with the civil service pension meltdown? And finally, the most applied for jobs and the apprenticeships that can people dodge a massive student debt. Follow us on Instagram @dmgnewmedia.
