Activities and protection
What they can do, and how you are protected
- Hold or safeguard your money Funds safeguardedYour money must be kept in a separate safeguarded account. If the firm fails, all safeguarded funds should be returned to you. With no upper limit, unlike the capped amounts under FSCS. Safeguarding works differently from FSCS, but protects your full balance when the rules are followed correctly.
- Give regulated advice FSCS may applyA claim for unsuitable advice is itself FSCS-protected, up to the limit that applies to the product you were advised on.
- Manage or trade investments FSCS may applyEligible investment and pension claims are typically FSCS-protected up to £85,000 per person, depending on the product and your circumstances.
- Lend or arrange credit No FSCS coverConsumer credit is not covered by the FSCS, so there is no compensation scheme if the firm fails.
