About E*Trade UK

In 1998, ESI and E*TRADE Group founded E*TRADE UK. Defining the new territory where British investors can 'stalk' their next investment and 'pounce', timing their trade to the second. The launch of E*TRADE UK's online trading service is just a first step in a process which will fully exploit interactive channels to maximise benefits for the private individual over the years to come. Building on this vision, the aquisition of E*TRADE UK by E*TRADE Group in January 2000 promises to be a critical step towards the goal of developing the first global cross border network for online investors.

E*Trade UK offers several levels of service. Some of these require a monthly subscription while others, such as trading accounts, do not have a fee.

Features

E*Trade UK offers many services on their site, including:

Trading accounts - buy/sell online Share price quotes Portfolio service Bulletin Board Community Funds Data News Graphs and Charts ISA / PEP management Company research Self Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) Annual Reports

About Merrill Lynch HSBC

Launched in the UK in May 2001, Merrill Lynch HSBC aims to provide a high-quality direct investing and banking service to private investors.

Merrill Lynch HSBC was originally a joint venture between Merrill Lynch, the pre-eminent American investment bank, and HSBC, the global financial services group. They used the skill and resources of both companies to create a product that won the Most Consumer-Friendly Online Broker award at the Investor's Week Online Finance Awards in 2001.

In July 2002, Merrill Lynch HSBC became 100% owned by HSBC, and became a full member of the HSBC Group.
