Fidelity is a global investment giant with a strong UK platform. The 0.35% SIPP fee is mid-range — cheaper than HL but more expensive than AJ Bell or Vanguard. Fidelity's strength is its proprietary research and fund range, including its own actively managed funds which have strong track records. No dealing charges on funds (only shares). The platform has a clean interface and good tools. Fidelity is a solid choice for investors who want a broad platform with strong research at a moderate cost — though for pure cost minimisation, Vanguard or ii are cheaper.
