I gave Bolton Peak Invest a fair chance. After for the past six months of usage, I can say with confidence that there are far better options available. The interface is clunky, the fees are higher than competitors, and the customer support team seems overwhelmed or understaffed.
Pros: No hidden fees|Easy to use platform|Good mobile app|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: No fractional shares|Email notifications too frequent
Opened my account with Bolton Peak Invest after seeing their ad online and regretted it within the first month. The platform crashed during a critical moment, I lost potential gains, and support basically told me it was not their problem. Absolutely unacceptable behavior.
Pros: Personal attention|Portfolio tracking tools|Good mobile app
Cons: No phone support on weekends|Website design could be more modern
I wanted to transfer my portfolio from another broker to Bolton Peak Invest. They said they do not accept in-kind transfers for my asset type. I had to sell, withdraw, deposit, and rebuy - incurring taxes and spread costs. They did not tell me this before I signed up.
Pros: Multi-currency support|Automated trading options|Regular platform improvements|Quick verification
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers
What really bothers me about Bolton Peak Invest is the disconnect between their marketing and reality. They position themselves as a premium service but deliver a below-average experience. Found them after hearing about them at a conference and I fell for the polished exterior. Never again.
Pros: Full transparency|Multiple order types
Cons: Limited social trading features|Slow to add new assets
