Simon Dalmat has covered online brokers in the UK market since 2018. Formerly a journalist at Financial Times Adviser and then Citywire, he spent six years scrutinising the practices of FCA-authorised platforms on behalf of UK retail investors.
At HelloBrokers, Simon leads the UK edition. He runs the reviews of brokers active on the UK market, from established players (Hargreaves Lansdown, IG, AJ Bell, Interactive Brokers UK) to neo-brokers (Trading 212, Freetrade, Lightyear). For every broker, he systematically checks FCA status, FSCS coverage, and the quality of ISA and SIPP tax wrappers before assigning a score.
Simon holds a master's degree in finance from the London School of Economics and an IMC (Investment Management Certificate) awarded by CFA UK. He is a regular expert commentator for the specialist press on post-Brexit retail regulation.
