Winterflood Securities Ltd

Trading Member

Since our formation in 1988, we've focused on one thing: servicing our clients efficiently. With the resources and traditional strengths of Close Brothers Group plc behind us, we are guided by the belief that immediacy, price and coverage are as important as reputation and relationships. By providing a rapid and efficient trading process, we can deliver competitive prices without fuss, and there isn't a better testament to this than Winner - our automated equity trading system. Today, approximately 80% of all our trades are transacted through this system, and with the launch of Bondscape - our automated bond trading system - we now have a presence in both international equity and fixed interest markets.

Winner: The Winner system covers over 2,100 AIM, Small-cap, Mid-cap, FTSE100 and most SETS stocks in the UK. The balance of UK equities and the investment trust sector, is currently offered via a link to Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein's Bestconnect system. However, Winterflood also covers the investment trust sector. We also offer a dealing service electronically for the most liquid securities quoted in the following countries: Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Holland, Ireland, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. The most popular traded US stocks, the Dow 30 and the NASDAQ 100 stocks are accessible electronically via Winner. In addition Winterflood covers the full range of International Retail Service (IRS) stocks electronically via Winner. The IRS stock coverage is very comprehensive and is continually reviewed and expanded by the London Stock Exchange.

Bondscape: Launched by Winterflood Securities Ltd and Barclays Capital in June 2001, the "Bondscape" trading platform is the first service to offer competitive pricing from three sources (Barclays Capital, Winterflood Securities and HSBC), as well as market information and research, targeted at private client stockbrokers and advisers. Bondscape.net makes it easier for brokers to follow bond markets and to trade individual bonds and gilts for their clients, at competitive prices. Designed primarily for stockbrokers and other professional investment advisers Bondscape is a totally new initiative in the bond markets, which are so often thought of as the preserve of institutional investors. The success of Winterflood has been built on a foundation of market making in UK equities. Over 90% of our business is in UK equities and we are constantly striving to add value to our already comprehensive and diverse stock coverage, combining flexibility and accessibility to give you the best service possible.
