In years gone by, investors went to different third parties to secure various elements of what we now term global investment services. Clearing services, safe custody, trade execution, market coverage, payment services, and asset management make up this often complex investment jigsaw. Here at Global Investment Strategy UK Ltd, we provide the full range of global investment services together with extensive support.

Trade execution

Trade execution is the visible front-end of any investment services group. GIS UK Ltd offers a global trade execution service taking in equities, fixed income, foreign exchange, and derivatives. As well as access to the major investment markets, we cover the up-and-coming frontier markets such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. We also have access to the "Connect" system, which allows mainland-listed Chinese companies to operate dual listings on the Hong Kong stock exchange.

Utilising cutting-edge technology, low latency trading platforms, supported by a dedicated trading desk available 24 hours a day, five days a week, we provide the complete package.
 

Discretionary asset management services

In these times of fast-moving markets news-driven trading environments, demand for discretionary asset management services continues to grow. Our approach to wealth management is more personalised. We take the time to discuss and appreciate your approach to diversification and volatility, creating a bespoke investment strategy best suited to your situation. While appreciative of short to medium-term changes in investment markets, we take a long-term approach with regular communication.

We also offer alternative absolute return solutions as part of our wealth management services. Targeting absolute returns via the trading of index options with a hedge to risk strategy has seen us appointed as investment advisers for several portfolios.
 

Global clearing and safe custody services

Over the years, we have developed close relationships with a range of clearinghouses and safe custody parties across the globe. As a result, we have administered more than 250,000 transactions worth more than £50 billion over the last three years. Custodial and clearing services work hand-in-hand, allowing the prompt settlement of trades, delivery of stock and funds with time often of the essence.

Ensuring compliance with an ever-changing regulatory environment while maintaining the safety of client assets is an integral part of our global investment services.
 

Payment services

As an Authorised Payment Institution, regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), we provide transparent and trustworthy payment services. As well as having a solid presence in the UK, we offer payment service solutions across the wider European Economic Area. We have adapted and grown our services in what has been a fluid post-Brexit era. Our team have experience across a range of Tier 1 financial institutions, with the skills to adapt to changing market regulations while retaining transparent, safe, and secure payment services.

We can transfer funds across the globe, taking in local and international regulations while abiding by anti-money-laundering legislation. The seamless, prompt transition from trade execution to settlement and transfer of funds is supported by the latest technology.
 

Seamless settlement services

The seamless connection between our trade execution, safe custody, clearing, and payment services has taken significant time and investment to achieve. We provide high-quality global investment services which are transparent, highly efficient, and delivered at competitive rates. Connecting global custody and clearing services, within a secure environment, is essential when servicing our global client base.
