Other account services

Get more from your Selftrade account

As well as our wide range of account services, and access to a great variety of different investments, your Selftrade account brings you more ways to invest. Each is designed to make it easier for you to meet your investment objectives, from building-up your capital to managing your risk. Here's what's available

Not all services will be suitable for all investors: if you're not sure which account is most appropriate we recommend you consult a financial adviser.

Please bear in mind that:
  • The value of investments can fall as well as rise and any income from them is not guaranteed. You should be prepared to lose your investment. Past performance is not a guide to future performance.
  • Selftrade does not provide investment advice. If you are in any doubt as to the risk or suitability of an investment or product you should seek advice from an independent financial adviser.

Please remember: not all accounts will be suitable for all investors; if in doubt you should consult an independent financial adviser. The benefits of tax-efficient accounts will vary according to your individual circumstances; the level of tax allowances and the way in which they are applied may change.

The value of investments may fall as well as rise and you may get back less than you originally invested. Limited liability instruments mean that you cannot lose more than you have invested. The risks associated with different instruments will vary; you should choose investments appropriate to your needs and consider your overall mix of different investment types.
