Three new broker reviews are now live on Campaign for a Million.

If you’re choosing an investment platform, it’s worth looking beyond the headline of “low fees” or “commission-free”. The right platform depends on what you invest in, how often you invest, the accounts you need and, importantly, what you’re actually paying over time.

I’ve just published detailed 2026 reviews of:
🔹 AJ Bell - a broad, established platform with a good range of investments and accounts, but one where costs can become more important as your portfolio grows.

🔹 Interactive Brokers UK - particularly interesting for investors who want a wide range of markets and tools, with a more sophisticated platform.

🔹 Trading 212 - known for its commission-free investing, with ISA and SIPP options that make it worth examining closely.

I’ve looked at the fees, accounts, investment range, tools and other practical considerations rather than simply saying which one is “best”.

The aim is simple: give investors the information to make a more informed choice for themselves.

Seeing the heads of Microsoft, Alphabet, Pepsi, Adobe, IBM, and Chanel inspires global ambitions. It makes you think, "Wait a minute, we want that too!"

The Chinese possess a unique calm, shaped by centuries of witnessing empires rise and fall. Tariffs and short-term hardships fade into insignificance against this backdrop of enduring perspective.

You probably don’t need another stock tip.

If you already have money invested, the more important question is whether the investments you own actually deserve your capital.

Professional investors don't start with a handful of stocks and look for reasons to buy them. They start with thousands of possibilities and look for reasons to reject them.

In this article, I break down the 10,000-to-1 investment approach—how professional investors think about stock selection, cash generation, downside risk, correlation and ultimately building a focused portfolio.

Because owning 30 stocks doesn't necessarily mean you're diversified. And having a portfolio doesn't necessarily mean you have a process.

The real edge isn't knowing what to buy. It's knowing what to reject.

Read the full article and see how the GIP Process & System approaches the problem.

Trade tensions and tariffs are dominating headlines. How is India navigating this reshuffling of global trade dynamics? Is the US-India tariffs conversation a hindrance or a catalyst for local strength?

Are you investing by choice or simply by default?

For many people, a workplace pension or investment account was set up years ago, a default fund was selected, and the money has been invested ever since.

But have you ever stopped to ask:

Why am I invested in what I’m invested in?

It’s an important question, particularly if you’ve never actively reviewed the strategy behind your investments.

In my latest article, I explore this through Dominic Bell’s investment journey. Dominic began questioning his own default arrangements and realised that having access to more information wasn't necessarily the answer. What he really needed was a better understanding of what he was investing in, why he was investing and how to take greater responsibility for his decisions.

The goal isn't necessarily to become a professional investor or pick stocks every day.

It’s about becoming an informed and deliberate investor rather than an automatic one.

I’ve also included 5 questions every investor should ask about their own investments.

The biggest change in India? It's looking beyond its borders. Selling to the massive Indian market is great, but the real growth comes from global reach and thinking bigger.

Initially, my focus was India, then expanded to China, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. Eight trips a year to India to find the most talented companies and individuals. Helping them establish their headquarters in the UK and expand their operations. Pretty amazing work.

With degrees in law and PPE, plus lecturing at Oxford, I gained a unique perspective on investing. It gave me the confidence to analyze companies, understand geopolitics, and ultimately, help others achieve financial success. It's about paying it forward.
