Should I buy via a platform or through an adviser?
Finding your comfort zone
Buying through a platform can be a good option for investors with some experience, who understand their risk appetite. If you’re unsure, speak with an adviser. We’re built to outperform the market, while also focusing on your peace of mind.
If you’re buying via a platform

Is Alliance Trust right for you?
Think about risk
Risk is a big part of investing. With every investment, there’s the chance your money could go down as well as up. And taking on some risk is often the price of getting a return.
That’s why it’s so important to understand your own personal attitude to risk before you invest. And to get a good understanding of the risks that come with any investment. If you need help understanding what feels right for you, please speak to an independent financial adviser.
Patience can pay off
We’re an equity-based, medium risk investment trust. That makes us a long-term investment – ideally five years or more. This gives you the best chance of seeing your investment grow, and riding out short-term highs and lows.
Before investing, please also read through the Alliance Trust Investor Disclosure Document, particularly the Investment Risk section. And our Legal and Regulatory Information and our Key Information Document.
