2. Customer Disclosure
In accordance with regulatory requirements the Broker has implemented a Best Execution Policy
that details the arrangements we take to ensure you receive the best possible result taking into
consideration all the execution factors. The Best Execution Policy sets out these factors and includes
details on our execution criteria, Execution Venues to be used and our approach to the different
types of client instruction we can receive. It is intended that this information will enable you to make
an informed choice about the nature of the Dealing Services. It is a condition of the Dealing Services
that you will provide us with your consent to the Best Execution Policy when you use the Dealing
Services and any other Service and by doing so you agree to be bound by these Terms and
Conditions. A full copy of the policy is available upon a written request made to: TD Direct Investing
(Europe) Ltd, Exchange Court, Duncombe Street, Leeds, LS1 4AX.
3. Client Money
All Client Money received or held on your behalf as a result of the administration of the Service
shall be the responsibility of the Broker. The following provisions of this clause 3 apply to your
money held by the Broker. It will be deposited with a bank, which for Client Money purposes meets
the FCA’s requirements. As regards that money:
(a) By using the Service, you authorise us to pool any Client Money we hold on your behalf in
the provision of this Service into bank accounts set up in accordance with the FCA Rules on
client money which also holds money of other clients. You retain all rights you have as the
legal owner of the monies.
(b) All Client Money that the Broker holds on your behalf as a consequence of administering this
Service will be maintained in an appropriately designated and named client money bank
account at an approved bank (in the UK or elsewhere in the EU) selected by the Broker. Your
cash held in this account is held separately from the Broker’s money.
(c) Computershare will not hold any of your Client Money. The Broker will hold your Client
Money, along with the client monies of other customers for whom the Broker is acting for, in
strict accordance with the requirements of the FCA Rules on client money. This means that
in the event that the bank became insolvent the Broker will attempt to recoup your money
on your behalf. If the bank cannot repay all the money it owes its clients this could result in a
shortfall. The Broker will treat money held in client money bank accounts as pooled, which
means that any shortfall will be shared proportionally with other shareholders and other
customers of ours. You may not recover all of your Client Money. In this situation, you may
be eligible to make a claim under the FSCS or another EEA scheme (where the client money
is held at a bank in another EEA state outside the UK). For more information, please see
clause 21(c).
