Goodfolio Review

Important: Goodfolio’s investment accounts and associated services are no longer available.

Goodfolio has closed down, and existing customers are asked to sell out of their investment and transfer their funds to an alternative investment platform.

Existing customers should sell down their shares or transfer their shares to another stocks and shares provider, I’d recommend Plus500.

Read my full Plus500 review for more information.

Goodfolio logo

Goodfolio is a new impact-driven investment platform. They provide an array of portfolios to choose from with ethical themes whilst still offering a good return for investors.

This is a great option for those that wish to invest in line with their principles. However, experienced investors will lament the lack of control over their investments.

We can’t take you to this site at the moment.

Goodfolio opening an account

A spare 5 minutes, your national insurance number, and a government-issued ID is all you need to open an account at Goodfolio. It really couldn’t be easier.

Goodfolio safety

GOODFOLIO Ltd is an appointed representative of RiskSave Technologies Ltd which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Client funds are covered up to the value of £85,000 by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

Goodfolio fees

Everything about Goodfolio is simple to understand, and the pricing structure is no different. You will pay an annual platform fee of 0.30%.

Investing less than £1000? Then you won’t pay any Goodfolio fees.

Investing more than £12,000? Then your cost is reduced to 0.25% per annum.

There are ETF fees, there is no getting away from these regardless of platform. They average at around 0.3% and are clearly displayed alongside the ETF.

Goodfolio vs Circa5000

Foresters Friendly Society provide a service that acts much like a one-stop shop for family finances. They are especially useful for people who have already maxed out their ISA allowance as they offer tax-free alternatives.

  Goodfolio Circa5000
Stocks and shares ISA Yes Yes
General investment account Yes Yes
Junior ISA No Yes
Pension No Yes – free until April 2023
Subscription fee £0 £1 per month
Platform fee 0.30% free for the first £1,000 0.45%

The revised pricing structure at Goodfolio makes them a more cost-effective option. If cost is your main priority then Goodfolio gets the vote.

In addition, Circa5000 are offering a junior ISA and a SIPP, although Goodfolio have already expressed their intention to offer both these.

Who is Goodfolio suitable for?

Goodfolio is suitable for long-term investors looking for a simplified and easy way to invest in a way that aligns with their principles. Experienced investors will find that they have a lack of choice and there is no way to invest in individual stocks.
