The AJ Bell Dodl Stocks & Shares ISA allows investors to choose their own investments in individual shares, ETFs, mutual funds, and money market funds. You're also able to select ready-made portfolios or pay for your portfolio to be managed by professionals. This ISA doesn't offer commodities.

The account doesn't offer fractional shares – you must buy whole shares of investments, making the market a little less accessible.

This isn’t a flexible ISA, meaning you can’t withdraw and redeposit in the same tax year without negatively affecting your annual ISA limit. If you deposited £10,000, withdrew and then redeposited, your entire £20,000 ISA allowance would be used up.

Uninvested cash held within the account can earn 4.06% (AER) interest, though this is an investment product – it should not be used like a bank, your funds may not be protected in the same way.

In-specie transfers aren't supported, meaning you'd have to convert investments into cash to transfer elsewhere.

AJ Bell Dodl ranks 11th by Fi Fee for small investors (£10,000 portfolios), and they drop down to 31st for large portfolios (balances of £500,000). To invest, you’ll need a minimum lump sum deposit of £100 or an ongoing monthly investment of at least £25. They charge 0.75% as an FX fee for investments in foreign currencies.

Dodl has a 0.15% annual fee for all account types with a £1/month minimum, regardless of how you invest, with no commission fees. This account fee is uncapped.

^{SIPP features}

Employer contributionsDoes this SIPP allow contributions from your employer? No

Director depositsDoes this SIPP allow company directors to deposit company funds? No

DrawdownDoes this SIPP support drawdown? No

AJ Bell Dodl's SIPP provides access to invest with your own investment decisions, ready-made portfolios, and professionally-managed portfolios. You can invest into shares, ETFs (exchange-traded funds), mutual funds, commodities, and money market funds (MMFs).

Investors can transfer their investments in-specie, meaning their portfolio can be moved to or from another platform without being converted to cash first.

Fractional shares aren't supported, meaning you can only buy whole units of each investment.

When it comes to a pension offering, this SIPP doesn't include the features the average person tends to be looking for: drawdown isn't supported, limited company directors can't deposit via their business (this tax efficiency is a big perk of a pension), and employers can't deposit into their employee's SIPP either.

AJ Bell Dodl's SIPP ranks 4th by Fi Fee for small investors, though it drops down to 18th for large portfolios. They charge 0.75% up to £10,000, 0.5% on £10,000-£20,000, and 0.25% over £20,000 as an FX fee for investments in foreign currencies.

Platform fee is 0.15% with a £1 per month minimum, uncapped. No commission for buying or selling investments.
