Safeguarding and administering investments definition
What does Safeguarding and administering investments mean?
This is the regulated activity of safeguarding assets belonging to another and the administration of those assets (security or contractually based investments), or arranging for another person to carry on this activity (article 40 of the Regulated Activities Order).
Safeguarding alone is not a regulated activity; there must be an element of administration too. An example would be receiving dividends in respect of an investment and preparing tax returns.
