Through your account with Selftrade you'll have access to a wide range of investments, from the well-known FTSE100 'blue chip' companies, and the UK's best-known Fund Managers to overseas shares, specialist fund managers and on to 'off-market' investments like CFDs and derivatives better suited to the more adventurous investor.

A well-balanced portfolio of investments will often contain a mix of some or all of these different types of investments, depending upon your overall investment objectives: you can learn more about this, and about different investment strategies too, in the Research & Education section.

Whilst it's generally understood that investing in the stock market involves taking a higher level of risk in exchange for potentially higher returns, different types of investments carry different levels of risk and reward.

Please remember: The value of investments may fall as well as rise and you may get back less than you originally invested. Limited liability instruments mean that you cannot lose more than you have invested. The risks associated with different instruments will vary: you should choose investments appropriate to your needs and consider your overall mix of different investment types.
