Managing your own investments
If you prefer to make your own investment decisions, we are here to support you. You decide where and how much to invest, and we will make it happen by executing your instructions.
Execution-only investments
Investment dealing and custody service
Our experienced dealing team will act on your instructions, managing the buying and selling of your chosen assets. We provide a secure custodian facility, holding your investments on your behalf until you decide to sell. With our platform, you can access a comprehensive view of your investments and cash at any time.
• Global market access: Trade assets across the world’s major stock markets, all conveniently reported and managed through your account.
• Execution-only approach: While we ensure the efficient execution of your trades, we do not offer advice or assess the suitability of your investment choices. For tailored investment advice, ask about our managed investment services.

Is this service right for you?
Our investment dealing and custody service is designed for clients who:
- Are confident in making their own investment decisions.
- May already have a financial adviser guiding their choices.
- Appreciate professional execution and efficient management of their trades.
This service is not for those seeking financial advice or recommendations. It is essential to understand and be comfortable with the risks involved in self-directed investing. Remember, the value of your investments can go down as well as up, and past performance is not a guarantee of future returns.

Suitability
Who is the Focus investment dealing and custody service for?
Our execution-only and custody service is for high-net-worth clients who want to buy and sell stocks and shares and do not need our recommendations. You may already have a financial adviser who recommends where you should invest, or you may feel confident in your own investment choices.
Our dealing team of qualified professionals will manage your orders, to provide speedy high-quality executions. You must be sure that you are comfortable with the risks before you decide to invest.
As always, the value of your investment can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invested, or nothing at all. Past performance is not a guide to future performance.

What our clients say
Corporate social responsibility
Recognising the impact and taking action
We support projects that help reduce the impact we have on our local and global environment. We work closely with local charities to help improve the communities in which we operate and, more broadly, we partner with Ecologi to offset more than our collective carbon footprint puts back into the environment.
