Managing your own investments
If you prefer to make your own investment decisions, our team can help. You decide what you want to invest in, and then instruct us on how much to invest and when.
Execution-only investments
The Focus investment dealing and custody service
Our experienced dealing team will execute your instructions for you and hold the assets in our custody on your behalf, until you ask us to sell them. You can view all your investments and cash in your account at any time.
Assets can be traded across any of the world’s major stock markets and can be held and reported through your Focus account.
Our execution-only service does not provide advice or help in selecting your investments, and we can’t talk to you about the suitability of your investment choices. If you would like investment advice, please ask about our managed investment service.

Suitability
Who is the Focus investment dealing and custody service for?
Our execution-only and custody service is for clients who want to buy and sell stocks and shares and do not need any recommendations from us. You may already have a financial adviser who is recommending 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.

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.
