About Stocktrade
Stocktrade, based in Edinburgh, is the execution-only division of Brewin Dolphin Securities Limited, one of the leading private client investment managers and stockbrokers in the United Kingdom, dating back to the mid-18th Century.
As an execution-only broker, Stocktrade does not offer investment advice but instead deals and settles transactions for investors who make their own investment decisions.
Stocktrade has been establishing new standards in stockbroking and customer service since 1993. Stocktrade's unique combination of established stockbroking heritage and the latest service delivery techniques allows Stocktrade to provide quality low-cost services for all of its customers.
Stocktrade offers a wide range of services and products to a wide range of clients, including individuals, institutions, quoted companies, fund managers, financial advisors and banks.

About Hargreaves Lansdown
Hargreaves Lansdown was established in 1981 by Peter Hargreaves and Stephen Lansdown, who are still at the helm today. They carry one of the highest level of authorisation from the FSA, and as such can offer more investment services than most financial organisations.
They have placed investments for over 520,000 private clients to date, and aim to devote as much attention to you after you have invested as they do beforehand. In addition to daily updates on their website, you can expect to receive regular copies of the Investment Times, and they produce a comprehensive quarterly fund performance and discount review for clients in their Vantage service. They also offer a range of guides and their Help Desk is available during business hours to answer your queries.
In most cases they discount all of our initial commission, and retain part of the renewal commission. The income of the firm is therefore predominantly linked to the success of the investments you choose. They have every incentive to help you choose successful investments and then to keep you as a satisfied client.
