Is your money safe with InvestEngine?
InvestEngine is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
When you invest with an investment platform that's registered with the FCA, your money will be ringfenced and should be returned if a company goes bust without you having to wait alongside other creditors.
If ringfencing failed, you would be compensated by the FSCS.
The FSCS will cover up to £85,000 of investments per person, per platform. You can claim for free online at www.fscs.org.uk; there's no reason to use a claims-management company.
You won't be compensated for investments falling in value, or if a company in which you hold shares goes bust, unless this poor performance resulted from bad advice given by a regulated independent financial advisor that has since gone bankrupt.
