Provider profile
Fidelity
Fidelity is two stories that share a name. Fidelity Investments in the United States is a major fund manager and broker-dealer. Fidelity International, which serves the UK platform, is a separate business. Comparing “Fidelity” across countries without that split produces nonsense.
Why WiT Markets covers this provider
Readers search one word and arrive at two regulators. This profile is here to slow that search down. A US retirement-account feature, a US money-market fund and a UK ISA are not interchangeable shelves in one shop.
United States
Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC is the US broker-dealer name commonly named in disclosures, alongside fund advisers in the Fidelity group. The platform offers mutual funds, ETFs, shares and options-approval paths. Fees on Fidelity funds, third-party funds and brokerage tickets are Not confirmed and are often zero on some US online equity tickets for residents. That sentence is a description of a pricing style the firm has advertised, not a current quote.
United Kingdom
The UK service is an investment platform focused on funds, ETFs and shares, with wrappers that have included ISAs. The contracting company should be read from the UK terms; WiT Markets does not treat the US broker-dealer as the UK custodian. Service fees on funds have historically mattered more than a dealing commission. Current platform fees are Not confirmed.
Other countries
Finland and Australia are Not confirmed. A European institutional office is not a retail onboarding promise.

Why WiT Markets covers this provider
Fidelity is profiled because readers already meet this investment platform when they look at Funds, ETFs, Stocks. Coverage is not a recommendation, and it is not evidence of a commercial relationship. None is recorded for this firm.
What to confirm before opening an account
- Which legal entity would actually serve your country. A global brand is not that answer.
- Whether you are eligible for the account type you want.
- The current fee schedule, including FX conversion, not a headline commission.
- What investor protection applies to that entity, and what it does not cover.
- Which products you can actually reach from that account.
- How withdrawals work, and in which currency.
Where this profile says Not confirmed, that item has not been checked cell by cell.

Can a UK investor open Fidelity’s US brokerage account to avoid UK fees?
Not confirmed, and it is the wrong question to start with. Residency rules, tax and the firm’s own acceptance policy come before any fee comparison.
