No they are not. You will not be able to claim against any compensation schemes if the investments you make through the platform do not perform, meaning they do not make payments or repayments in line with your expectations.

Your money will be held in a client money account before it is invested or when interest or dividend payments or capital repayments are received. Barclays Bank plc is the client money provider we have selected to hold your client money.

If the bank holding your client money fails, you may have a claim under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) for up to £85,000. For further information about the FSCS (including amounts covered and eligibility to claim) please see the FSCS website at www.fca.org.uk or telephone the FSCS on 0800 678 1100.
