What does it cost you?

E.A.Cables PLC does not publish what it charges. We looked for one charge and found no figure for any of them:

  • · Buying shares costs brokerage commission plus exchange and regulator levies. Your stockbroker charges that, not this company, and it differs between brokers.

What if you stop paying?

There is nothing to keep paying. You buy shares once and hold them.

What if you need the money early?

You sell on the exchange at that day's price. It may be less than you paid.

Who this suits

It could work for you if

You want to own part of a listed business. You can accept the price falling as well as rising.

Think twice if

You need a set return, or you will need the money back on a fixed date.

Things to know before you sign

  • · The exchange lists this security. That is not a view on whether it is worth buying.
  • · You need a CDS account and a stockbroker licensed by the Capital Markets Authority.
  • · The price moves every day and can fall below what you paid.

Talk to them

  • If something goes wrong, the CMA is who supervises them.
