Please bear in mind that:- These investments are more appropriate for experienced investors: we will ask you to complete an appropriateness assessment before trading them.
Through your account with Selftrade you'll have access to a wide range of investments, from the well-known FTSE100 'blue chip' companies, and the UK's best-known Fund Managers to overseas shares, specialist fund managers and on to 'off-market' investments like CFDs and derivatives better suited to the more adventurous investor.
A well-balanced portfolio of investments will often contain a mix of some or all of these different types of investments, depending upon your overall investment objectives: you can learn more about this, and about different investment strategies too, in the Research & Education section.
Whilst it's generally understood that investing in the stock market involves taking a higher level of risk in exchange for potentially higher returns, different types of investments carry different levels of risk and reward. Finding the class of investments - shares, gilts, funds, ETFs etc - that best suit your aims and then picking the right individual investment is key to successful investing. Please read our Investment Risk Warning for information about different risks that may apply.
We'll help you make those decisions by providing you with free access to information, news and analysis, and by providing tools to help you choose your individual selections.
