HL seem inconsistent. They offer, and occasionally even promote, subscribing to some flotations and launches in their tax shelters. I've done that several times: indeed, my entire Renewables Infrastructure sector holdings (TRIG and JLEN, one in each of the ISA and SIPP) were built in new subscriptions. But in other cases (e.g. the SSP IPO) they don't, and charge a high fee if you ask to bid. Or in the worst case, where I asked about investing in a Swedish company's IPO on the Frankfurt market, they wouldn't do it at all, though I can of course trade it now it's listed.
