What happens to my money if I die?
Your account will be blocked. And we will require proof of grant of probate before we release the funds to the individuals appointed to the administrator of your estate. In the case of a joint account, in most cases we will pass on your rights to the account to the other account holders.
What is the difference between an advised and non-advised sale?
With an advised sale your Relationship Manager will work with you to identify your offshore banking and investment needs and attitude to risk before advising you on the specific products that they believe best suit your particular needs. Our Relationship Managers are qualified investment managers who provide advice on wealth management products and services. The advice is completely free.
However, if you know what you want and do not require advice you can buy an investment product on a non-advisory basis. Just give us your instructions and we will help make the transaction quick and straightforward.
Equally if you take advice and decide on a course of action or product that we do not recommend you are free to buy this on a non-advisory basis.
Finally there are some products we offer that we do not give advice on and you can only take out on a non-advisory basis. This means they are really only suitable for sophisticated investors who are happy to make their own wealth management decisions. Our International Brokerage is one example of a service that is only available on a non-advisory basis.
