Stocks & Shares

Trade in the world’s favourite investment

Which shares you buy depends on your reasons for investing. Some shares offer good growth where their value rises quickly, others provide income through dividends, a proportion of the company’s post-tax profits. You should remember that the value of shares can fall as well as rise and you should be prepared to lose your investment.

You can also choose from two types of shareholding account

• Certificated Dealing account, where you hold the share certificates
• Nominee Trading account, such as MarketMaster®, where we hold the shares and do all the administration on your behalf.
