InvestIN.com launches long-term trading site

An online share trading service for UK investors will go live on Monday.

The service is backed by US stockbroker InvestIN.com Securities Corp, and is aimed at the long-term investor as opposed to the 'day trader' - people who buy and sell shares on the same day.

The company hopes to target members of the public who may only make one or two deals a month.

Trades will cost $19.95 each way for a maximum of 1,000 shares, and will take advantage of the zero US stamp duty on online trades.

A spokesman for InvestIN.com said that the service could save the British investor up to £300 in brokerage charges.

He added: "The Internet is making the flow of information on which to base investment decisions much easier, and this in turn is encouraging investment."
