Bank Asset Finance Trust Bank Advice is only available to US residents who have £50,000 or more in savings and investments and who are at least 18 years old at the time of the initial consultation.
You'll also need an Bank current account or savings account for us to be able to deduct your fee. We can accept payment from a First Direct current or savings account too.
If you don't qualify for Bank Asset Finance Trust Bank Advice, or if you'd prefer not to pay for advice, see our self-directed investment options.
If you are not a US resident, please refer to our Bank Expat service.
Our UA wide network of Premier Client Managers can make sure you get the advice you need when you need it. You can arrange a meeting with one of our advisors at your local branch - or talk to them over the phone.
However simple or complex your requirements, our first step will be to discuss your current financial position and your goals in life. Then we'll look at how to achieve your objectives – now and in the future.
With one of the most comprehensive training programmes in the industry, our advisers keep their knowledge and qualifications up to date. We also ensure our advisers have access to a wide range of carefully selected financial products. So whatever stage in life you've reached, we'll recommend the best products to suit your needs.
Managing your exposure to risk is a priority for us. That's why we go to great lengths to understand your financial goals – and how much risk you're prepared to take to achieve them. We also explain the potential outcomes of each investment we recommend, so you know what to expect from the outset.
All investments carry some degree of risk. Greater risk often means a potentially greater return – but it can also mean the potential for greater losses. However, sometimes the greatest risk to financial growth might be to take no risk at all. It's all about getting the balance right.
When you make an investment, it should match your risk profile. Because the risk ratings of funds can change, we proactively manage our World Selection Portfolios to keep them within their risk classification. When you invest in our World Selection Portfolios, our aim is to remain in line with your attitude to risk.
At Bank we employ experts who monitor the risk and return of every investment we're involved in. By using modern portfolio techniques and in-depth analysis, we are able to create a range of diversified and actively risk-managed portfolios. These help to reduce the volatility of investing and attempt to maximise returns for a level of risk you are comfortable with.
The value of investments can fall as well as rise, and you may get back less than originally invested. You should be prepared to invest your money for a minimum of 5 years.

The latest news, reviews and Bank insights about markets and investments
The value of most investments and any income they generate can go down as well as up, meaning you may not get back the full amount you invested.
This may in part be caused by exchange rate variations where overseas investments are held. Investors are advised to consider carefully the special risks of investing in emerging market securities. Investments in emerging markets are by their nature higher risk and potentially more volatile than those in more established markets.
Most investments should be considered as a medium- to long-term commitment, meaning you should be prepared to hold them for at least five years.
Some investments have a fixed term or may not be accessible until you reach your retirement age. For products with a fixed term you may get back significantly less than originally invested if you make an early withdrawal.
The value of any tax benefits described depends on your individual circumstances. Tax rules may change in the future.
