Accounts cannot be held in joint names and non-personal accounts are not permitted.

Global Investment Centre has been created for individual investors who want to make lump sum investments themselves. You cannot make regular payments or joint applications in to the Global Investment Centre.
Investors should regularly review the funds they've chosen. That's why with Global Investment Centre you can see the current value of your investments, and track their performance, at a glance.
Once you've applied for the Global Investment Centre, you can open a Funds Portfolio in which to buy, sell and hold your investments.
You can also apply for an ISA Funds Portfolio so you can hold your investments within a tax-efficient ISA.
The minimum initial investment is $100 for each class of fund shares for each portfolio. The minimum additional investment is also $100.
Online trades through the Global Investment Centre are limited to $99,999. If you would like to place a trade of $100,000 or more, you may do so by phone – please call us on +447402678864**.

All investments carry some risk. The value of investments (and any income received from them) can fall as well as rise and you may not get back what you invested. For some investments this can also happen as a result of exchange rate fluctuations as shares and funds may have an exposure to overseas markets.
Most investments should be considered as a medium to long-term commitment, meaning you should be prepared to hold them for at least five years.
The value of any tax benefits described depends on your individual circumstances. Tax rules may change in the future.
