Managed accounts
Your gateway to hassle-free trading
Have capital but not the time to trade it yourself? UK Trading Academy provides the trading team and expertise to leading regulated brokers, who offer managed accounts and copy trading directly to their customers. Your funds stay in your own broker account at all times.
Please read: how our managed accounts service works
UK Trading Academy (UKTA) is not a regulated investment firm and does not provide regulated asset management services, financial advice or recommendations. We do not hold or accept client funds. We provide institutional trading services to the regulated brokers we work with, and it is those brokers who offer managed accounts to their customers. All managed account activity is carried out under a Limited Power of Attorney (LPOA) agreement between you and the broker.
The service
Managed accounts via regulated brokerages
Managed accounts via regulated brokerages
UK Trading Academy does not provide regulated asset management services or hold client funds. We provide institutional trading services to our brokers, who offer managed accounts to their customers.
Managed account and allocation
Our brokers provide their customers with a range of managed accounts, and their performance is shown on the broker’s managed accounts website so customers can assess them before choosing.
Professional management and execution
Trading services are provided by experienced institutional traders. Accounts are opened directly with trusted, regulated brokers, the broker gives you full access to your account at all times, and you retain full control.
Transparent reporting and monitoring
You receive daily, transparent reports from your broker detailing the performance of your managed account. No need to monitor charts or manage trades — everything is executed on your behalf under the Limited Power of Attorney structure.
How it works
Four simple steps
1
Open your account
Open an account in your own name with one of our regulated brokerage partners.
2
Sign the LPOA
Sign a Limited Power of Attorney with the broker, authorising the professional trading team to place trades on your behalf.
3
Get connected
Your account is connected to the trading desk. You never send money to UKTA.
4
Monitor any time
Follow performance through your broker portal any time, anywhere — and you stay in control of your account.
Our trading team
An experienced team trading the financial markets
We have a very experienced trading team with the tools and data streams needed to respond to market movements. The team are experts in their field and apply prudent risk management to every account they trade.
Your account will be held with a regulated broker for your protection. At no time does UKTA receive customer funds. The managed account service is provided by the broker, as UKTA is not regulated in the UK to manage customer funds or to provide financial advice or guidance.
Your money under your control
Everything you need to know
Before starting with a managed account it is important that you understand exactly how it works, so you can make the right decision with all the information in front of you.
The managed accounts
The account you open will be with a regulated broker who provides the managed account. UK Trading Academy trades for those brokers — we are not the company that provides the managed accounts.
Who trades the accounts
UKTA’s team of experienced traders provides the trading services to the brokers for their managed account service.
Where the money is held
You open your own broker account and fund it directly. It is a regulated account, so your money is held by the broker in a segregated account.
The legal framework
You sign a Limited Power of Attorney with the broker to provide the managed account, and the fee structure is set out in that agreement. You do not sign any agreement with UKTA, as we do not provide the managed accounts.
Performance fee
The performance fee is 30% of profits, calculated on a high-water mark basis — so a fee is only generated on new profits above the account’s previous highest level.
Management fee
There is a management fee of 3% per year of the total amount held in your account, calculated and charged monthly at 0.25% of the account balance.
Fees are set out in full in your agreement with the broker. The value of your account can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is not a guide to future results.
