The three main criteria
Brokers should be compared on three main things: availability of MSCI World ETFs you want to buy, in GBP or GBP Hedged terms; low fees on lump-sum purchases or automated regular investing plans; and solid regulation, authorised by a recognised authority such as the FCA (UK), the AMF (France), BaFin (Germany) or equivalent.
Some well-known examples in the UK
Among the brokers most widely used by UK investors for this type of strategy: Trading 212 (Stocks & Shares ISA + Invest account, zero platform fee, free regular investing), InvestEngine (ISA + GIA + SIPP, 0% platform fee on DIY portfolios, auto-rebalancing) and AJ Bell (ISA + SIPP + GIA, shares/ETF custody capped at £42/year). This is an informational, non-exhaustive list, not personalised advice: other valid brokers exist beyond this list.
Always compare several options and check current terms directly on each broker's website before opening an account.
