Stock Broker

A stock broker is required if you want to begin share dealing on the Stock Market. You can obtain a list of stock brokers equipped to deal for small private clients from The Stock Exchange. Your stock broker must be regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA). In order to begin dealing, your stock broker will advise opening a share dealing account which will offer the following services:

24 hour access to your account via phone or internet
Options to deal online, by phone or post
Access to a wide range of UK shares
Alerts and updates about the latest market events
Access to international trading markets

Please remember the value of your investments and the income from them can go down as well as up. You may not get back the full amount you have invested. If you're in any doubt whether to buy or sell shares, you should consult an appropriate Financial Adviser.
