Can I seek compensation from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) or the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS)?


No, investments are not covered by the FSCS or FOS.

Before your money is invested or once the proceeds of investments are returned, it will be held by the money recipient in a segregated client bank account and subject to the separate protections applicable to credit institutions and banks.
