So last night I went to an ABSA stockbrokers event and had a chat to the head of absa stockbrokers afterwards. Anyone want to guess which broker he uses for his offshore investing?

Just threw the most unlikely idea out there. As a bank employee he is more than likely forbidden from using any platform other than their own. The fact that you posted the question probably means this is not the case...so, answer please :p

I was under that impression too, but he uses TD Ameritrade. He doesn't like the custody fee on their own platform either, but Saxo makes the rules, so he can't change it.

Reading the complaints against them I would question whether I wanted to use them as a broker partner, seems like they can milk accounts quite effectively without explanation or at very least even warrant an explanation

I won't switch from Interactive, I believe returns are directly proportional to the inverse of costs, and of all the brokers available, for the amounts I invest, interactive brokers can't be beat on costs.
