How is my money protected?
In accordance with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) rules regarding client monies, all retail client money is held in segregated client money accounts.
We hold all client money with top-tier banks, and have trust letters in place with each of these banks to ensure that our client money remains segregated from the assets of the bank. We use our own funds for hedging client trades, and we never engage in any proprietary trading.
Clients may also be eligible for the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, which offers cover up to £50,000 in the event a firm becomes insolvent or ceases trading.
