We take security very seriously and our website uses some of the latest 'encryption' technology to ensure the highest levels of protection of your details. We follow strict and proven procedures when providing access to the website ensuring that your log in details are kept safe.

For example, when you log in you use a 'secure' connection and your web browser should show a yellow padlock symbol (usually at the bottom right hand corner of the web browser, but this can vary depending on the web browser you use). To find out further details of the protection provided you can click on this padlock symbol.

The valuation feature provides you with a consolidated value of your portfolio of investments held on Investor Portfolio Service. It also breaks down your portfolio into fund-by-fund valuations for your ISA, unit trust, OEIC, bond and pension investments. Your portfolio valuation is updated at the close of each working day and is supplied with a print-friendly option for you.

The transaction history feature enables you to view the transactions for each holding you have on Investor Portfolio Service. The transaction history records the date of a transaction, the type of transaction (such as buying new funds), the price, units or shares affected by the transactions and any charges that have been applied. Transactions usually appear on the website several working days after they have been confirmed and processed, depending on the type of transaction and product.

The 'My Correspondence' page holds print-friendly copies of most of your Investor Portfolio Service correspondence, including confirmation of policy set up, your annual statement, and transaction notes.
