Sam's review
Lightyear is a retail investing platform offering a UK Stocks & Shares ISA. The ISA is structured around listed stocks and ETFs rather than fund-supermarket products. The platform is available on mobile and web and publishes a separate pricing page for dealing and FX charges. It is a newer entrant compared with long-established UK investment platforms.
