  • Wide investment choice and overseas share dealing - You can deal thousands of UK, American, Canadian and European shares, as well as government and company bonds, investment trusts and exchange-traded funds.

    All these investments can be held in your Fund and Share account alongside unit trusts and OEICs and cash pending investment. Overseas shares can be dealt online or by telephone, just like UK shares, for the same low dealing commission.

  • No inactivity fees - You won't be penalised for not dealing so there are no inactivity fees.
  • Stop loss and limit orders - Set the price at which you would like to buy or sell particular shares up to 30 days in advance.
  • Easy to manage - Receive simple statements four times a year to help you keep track of your investments, or manage your investments online whenever suits you. You can also opt to receive electronic contract notes and statements to help reduce your paperwork, making things easier to manage.
