Our verdict on each
Ginmon
Ginmon is a German robo-advisor for corporate investors who want a managed ETF portfolio without a large starting sum. A management fee of 0.75% plus a minimum investment of €1 keeps the entry point low, though the account type is limited to companies.
Trade Nation
Trade Nation suits UK retail traders who want a regulated, no-frills CFD account with nothing to pay for holding it. The minimum deposit is $0 and the inactivity fee is $0, so the running cost of an idle account sits at the very bottom of our table.
