Notice for clients purchasing securities in different currencies

Important notice

When purchasing securities, sufficient cleared funds must always be available to cover purchase instructions.  If you instruct us to make a purchase of a security denominated in one currency and settled in another currency (the settlement currency), you are liable for ensuring that sufficient money to ensure settlement is available in the settlement currency at the time of giving the purchase instruction.  If you do not do this, we will action a foreign exchange deal upon receipt of the confirmation of trade from the broker.  This may mean that you receive a different exchange rate to the one used to calculate the original cost of purchase, which could lead to an increase in the overall purchase price. This could result in your account becoming overdrawn and being subject to overdraft charges and interest, as detailed in condition 14 of our current Terms and Conditions.
