Hello Share turners. Being sensible, I trust my shares to several brokers. This is to spread the risk. Because, as some of us know to our cost with the old Beaufort Securities, the FSA protection stops at £85,000. After that, surprisingly and shockingly, administrators are quite legally allowed our shares to help pay for their sad task should the broker go under. I do have a favourite broker though. One which is doing well.
Hello Share Scrimpers. Like most sensible share traders, I use more than one broker. Remembering that the FSCS compensation scheme only runs to £85,000 – we know what happened to Beaufort Securities, don't we? My favourite broker though is IG Group (IGG). And it’s beginning to look as if IG shares are worth holding, too.
