Weatherbys Private Bank has launched an execution-only platform to enable clients to trade shares, ETFs, bonds and funds.

The bank confirmed the service will be powered by online trading platform Saxo, with the offering to provide access to 50 international markets in 46 countries and a comprehensive range of asset classes.

As part of the move, Weatherbys said it would offer personalised support for clients wishing to use the service, while Saxo will handle trade execution and platform queries in a secure, FCA-regulated environment.

The launch follows Weatherbys’ recent expansion of its advisory service to include access to gilts, either through ongoing management or one-off consultations.

“We offer clients outstanding core wealth management built with low-cost passive portfolios but at the periphery many would like the opportunity to manage some money themselves and to trade directly from their Weatherbys account,” Head of private clients at Weatherbys, Oliver Barnett, commented.

“This new service, delivered in partnership with the world’s leading online trading and investing platform, Saxo, makes that possible.”

Saxo UK CEO, Andrew Bresler, added: “Saxo’s technology has become the backbone of this growing segment in the industry, and we are proud to act as a tier-one partner for Weatherbys.

“Partnering with Saxo brings over 30 years of technology innovation, fintech agility and unrivalled capital market access to Weatherbys clients. This enables Weatherbys to focus on what it does best, serving their clients, while offering a unique value proposition at scale.”
