Diageo FAQs
- How do I manage my account?
-
You can choose to manage it 24/7 online, or by using the free 'HL Live' app on your smartphone or tablet. If it's more convenient, you can also manage it over the phone or by post. This puts you in complete control of your savings and investments.
- How do I register for online access?
-
Once you have chosen to save into the Stocks & Shares ISA or the Fund & Share Account, you will automatically be sent a PIN in the post to your home address. Along with your unique client number, you can use this to register online via the website. Please note, this PIN is only valid for 21 days for security purposes. If it expires, simply contact Hargreaves Lansdown for a new one.
- What if I'm not sure where to invest?
-
For some investors nothing beats the thrill of choosing their own investments. Others prefer to entrust the choice of shares to experts and choose funds. With the Diageo Savings Plan you can invest with the UK's finest fund managers.
You will receive regular reviews on funds that Hargreaves Lansdown believes have good prospects to help you decide for yourself where to invest.

If you're unsure where to invest - you can hold your money as cash and decide where to invest later. There are no costs to hold cash in the Diageo Savings Plan.
- What happens if I leave Diageo?
-
Rarely these days do people have one job for their entire working life.
If you leave the company, you can keep your investments where they are. You can continue to make contributions by setting up a direct debit, or by cheque and you'll continue to benefit from the same online access, the same investment choice and the same costs.
- How will I know how well my investments are performing?
- Twice a year you will be sent a simple statement covering all of your investments and detailing how well they have performed. This means less paperwork, less time and less hassle. In addition, at the end of the tax year you will be sent a consolidated tax certificate to help you with your tax return.
- Can I get financial advice?
-
Hargreaves Lansdown aims to provide you with as much information as you need in order to make your own informed decisions.
However, if you are at all unsure, or if you would prefer to leave the decisions to a qualified individual, Hargreaves Lansdown can provide personal financial advice for a fee.
A team of financial advisers - based all over the UK - can help with a wide range of wealth management and financial planning. They are salaried employees of Hargreaves Lansdown - they do not receive commission.

Important information
Please remember tax rules can change and benefits depend on individual circumstances. When you invest the value of your investments can rise and fall so you could get back less than you invest.
