We are updating our Terms and Conditions to reflect certain regulatory changes and changes to the way we operate your account(s). The following documents have been updated to reflect the changes set out in the guide to changes found here.

If we have contacted you in October 2024 informing you that we are changing the terms of our agreement with you to enable us to provide you with a limited service (the “Safeguarding Services”), copies of the important documents can be found below.

These changes are being made to ensure your investments continue to be safeguarded until such time as the investments are sold, transferred or otherwise disposed. This is permitted under both the General Terms and the Terms of Business (versions effective from 7 October 2024).

You should note that we are providing the Safeguarding Services for the period your investments remain unsold. We retain the right to close your Account(s) on 60 days’ notice and to subsequently sell your investments where you have not instructed us to transfer them, in accordance with clauses 1.5.4 and 1.5.5 of the Terms of Business.

The new terms (the "Safeguarding Cash Account Terms" and the "Safeguarding Investment Terms", together, the "Safeguarding Terms"), set out the contract terms that will apply to your Account(s) from 23 December 2024. Please note services on your Account(s) will be limited to those required to safeguard your investments as described in the accompanying summary.

The Safeguarding Cash Account Terms supersede the General Terms and the Safeguarding Investment Terms supersede the Terms of Business. However, we recommend you keep a copy of the General Terms and the Terms of Business that apply to you, as some of the provisions of the existing terms are incorporated into the Safeguarding Terms. You will need to have a copy of both the existing documents as well as your new Safeguarding Cash Account Terms and the Safeguarding Investment Terms in order to understand what contractual terms apply.

For ease of reference, we have summarised the key changes to each set of terms in the Guide to Changes which we recommend you read carefully.
