In addition, one needs to know if the brokerage allows an account to hold British Pounds and the exchange rate (relative to the Spot price) when its time to convert back to Canadian Dollars. For example in the case of US Dollars to Canadian Dollars, TD uses a rate of about 2% above or below the spot price depending if you are converting too or from the US Dollar.
You won't beat Interactive Brokers they are huge and the cheapest.
Its 6GBP a trade up to $50,000GBP and you can trade it yourself with their platform and their FX rates are good too.
Not even worth looking at the ripoff Canadian bank fees unless you are going to Buy and Hold for a long time and don't want to setup an IB account.
