Trading platform in joint names?

DH has just opened an account at one of the supermarket type trading platforms (interactive investor) so we can buy funds & shares.

This is going to be our savings/retirement pot and we will open ISAs and SIPPs later in the year.

However the account does not allow joint names so assets will all be in his name. I am not sure if I should be worried as we are married and all assets are to be shared equally however I still do not like that my name is not on there, for everything else we have it is in joint names.

Of course I have the option to open an account in my name and mirror the portfolio but then we would incur more fees and I don't want to get into 'we'll use yours for shares and mine for funds' etc etc

Are there any platforms that offer joint accounts?

Any other investing couples out there - what solution did you find?

Thank you
