Starling Feedback

Out of curiosity how long were you with them?

Wealthify was listed on Monzo Marketplace Beta before it was decommissioned, so I’m looking forward to Monzo partnering with Wealthify in future. Reason being is Nutmeg’s minimum requirements are too onourous for me.

Also, one must be careful in drawing comparisons between cross-platform returns. Did you make sure you’re comparing like-for-like portfolio risks?

Furthermore, highly anticipating Freetrade too but will replicating your Nutmeg portfolio be worth the effort? You will have to manually rebalance your portfolio periodically for it to exactly match Nutmegs consistently over time.

Just shy of two years so quite a short time, but did not feel comfortable with them.
Nutmeg has performed better for me.

Thanks. Starting < 100 here so nutmeg out at the moment

Two years is a very short time in the market and any difference in performance (if both are using robo investing with the same criteria) is just noise.

This is why most people don’t even obtain the performance of the funds they invest in, they switch after a period of apparent underperformance (just when that fund turns a corner) into another fund that had been performing better but then enters a downturn.

Starling today released its integration with Habito on the Marketplace.

Any thoughts as to what this would be?

Adding Samsung Pay is great.

Though Starling have recently fucked up my CASS and customer service was terrible.

Oh no, what happened?

My direct debits did not switch over properly.

Customer service was terrible too.

To sort it I had to contact all the retailers I have DDs with.

Were you transferring into starling or out? Full or partial switch?

A full switch from Nationwide to Starling

Not great. What good is the switch guarantee if you need to manually fix it yourself :frowning:
