These policies provide substantial protection in addition to that offered by the Financial Conduct Authority s FSCS scheme. In general, as a client of Templeton Securities you would enjoy the following protection of your assets: Regulatory Protection - The Financial Services Compensation Scheme provides clients of Templeton Securities and other organisations regulated by the FCA, compensation of up to 50,000 per investor for cash or UK securities.

This provides further cover in excess of 2.5million. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) dictates the terms and conditions of the policy and the level of protection to our settlement agent.
