Individual Client Segregation (ICS)

As part of regulatory obligations we are required to offer an Individual Client Segregation (ICS) service. This means you can choose to hold eligible assets in a segregated individual account, at the Central Securities Depository (CSD), as opposed to grouped together with all other customer accounts, which is our default option. There is an additional initial charge of £1,000 and an annual charge of £6,500 per year on top of the usual account charges.
