Due to recent EU regulations which came into effect on 12/04/2022, customers with Russian nationality/citizenship are no longer able to place any trades on the Global Investment Centre through the online platform at this time.

Specifically it is Article 5f of EU Council Regulation No 833/2014 which prohibits the sale of euro denominated transferable securities issued after 12 April 2022, or units in collective investment undertakings providing exposure to such securities, to any Russian national or natural person residing in Russia or any legal person, entity or body established in Russia.

Although the Regulation does not permit us to sell such individual Euro securities to Restricted Persons, it can be allowed where the Euro securities are held within an Investment Fund. The Regulation does not apply to Investment Funds which are incorporated (based) and distributed outside the EU. Fund managers have assessed the Regulation in respect of their own compliance as a fund manufacturer. At this time only Blackrock and Baillie Gifford have contacted us to inform they are not allowing new investments from Restricted Persons.

Спасибо путену за это!
