3. SCOPE OF THE
SERVICES
We will provide the following services:
- Advice during the sign-up process on whether you should be investing. Sometimes this advice will result in us not proceeding with your application, or proceeding but with warnings that you must confirm you understand and accept.
- Discretionary investment management – based on the information we have collected about you, we will choose the strategy that we think is most suitable for you. We will then select from a range of funds researched by our fund analysts to build your portfolio. We shall make all of the decisions on which investments to choose and on how much to invest in each one.
- We will ensure that the portfolio we construct is suitable for you and remains suitable whilst under our management.Our assessment of suitability is based on information that you provide to us via the App. If your investment aims or personal circumstances change, you must let us know by contacting [email protected] so that we may take this into account in the way in which we manage your investments. You authorise us to be the investment manager of your Silo Account and to invest your savings on your behalf into a suitable strategy at our discretion and without asking you again first.
- Safekeeping and custody of your investments ,
- Accept payments into and make payments out of your account at your request
- Manage the administration of your ISA in accordance with HMRC rules.
Our Services are designed to help you with the money you save with us only. We will not assess the suitability of any investments you hold elsewhere, nor will we take these into account when making new investments for you in your Silo Account.If you need someone to do this for you, then you need to seek full advice or a full wealth management service from another provider, which could be our parent company, Killik & Co(www.killik.com). Silo does not offer full advice.
Accepting you as a client
We have to ensure that it is suitable for you to begin investing in our Services.To make this assessment we will ask you questions about things like, your age, your employment status, how you feel about investing, regular income, expenditure and your ability to cover any debt repayments.
If the answers you give lead us to think that investing is not suitable for you, we will decline your application.
In response to certain answers you give, we may recommend not investing at this time.It is up to you whether you follow this advice or not.If you wish to proceed, we will ask you to confirm you understand the potential consequences of doing so.
UK regulations require us to verify that you are who you say you are. When you first enter your name, address and date of birth you are giving your authority for us to send this information to a third-party identity verification service. We only share this information for the purpose of verifying who you are.
We will carry out regular monitoring checks while you remain a customer. When you apply for the Services and from time to time thereafter, we may ask you to provide additional information and documentation that will allow us to identify you, such as a copy of your passport or driver’s license, allow us to take a photograph of you, or request any other information and documentation that we may need to complete our verification checks.
This additional Personal Data may be sent to another third party verification service called Paycasso (who may in turn, disclose it to its contractors or agents). Your Personal Data is only retained by Paycasso for as long as it takes to complete the verification check.
If you have connected your Bank Account (see section 4 below) we may also use this as part of our verification of your identity. If we are unable to verify your identity, we will decline your application. We can decide to decline an application for any reason.
4. USING INTELLIGENT
SILOING
To use Intelligent Siloing, you need to authorise an online connection to your Bank Account so that information such as your bank balance and transactions can be transmitted to us. This access takes place through a third party called TrueLayer Limited, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority to provide Account Information Services. Please refer to the “Additional Terms for Intelligent Siloing” at the end of this document. By using Intelligent Siloing, you are agreeing to these Additional Terms.
We will use your bank account information to provide the Services, including (but not limited to) identifying small amounts that you could safely save, and notifying you of these amounts. Payments will only be collected through the variable direct debit mandate that you establish with us. See Section 8 Making Payments and Authorisation.
You can adjust the Intelligent Siloing settings in App to set a maximum amount of Intelligent Silos per day and minimum Bank Balance levels below which Intelligent Silos will not be collected. Adjustments to Intelligent Siloing settings will be effective from the next business day.
Intelligent Siloing can be turned on or off at any time within the App and will be effective from the next business day.
5. INVESTMENT
APPROACH
We believe it is important that everyone keeps some money in cash for emergencies. You can use the Services to build up some cash saving alongside longer term Investments. If you do not have sufficient cash savings elsewhere, the Service will automatically keep 50% of the money you pay into your Silo Account each month in cash and invest the rest. Once you have the equivalent of one month’s gross income in cash in your Silo Account, all future payments into your Silo Account will be fully invested. Silo does not pay interest on cash(see Section 9).
If you tell us you already have the equivalent of one month’s gross income in cash savings elsewhere, we will accept this as a true statement and will not verify that it is correct. If you are not keeping emergency cash in your Silo Account, you must be aware that selling investments to cover emergency needs in the short term could result in you getting back less than you put in.
When deciding how to invest for you, we select one of five investment strategies based on the information you provide about your personal circumstances and attitude to risk.
You should notify us promptly of any changes to this information as it may affect the suitability of the strategy.
We will prompt you to update your information annually. If you do not respond to our requests to update your information, we may be unable to continue to provide you with the Services.
The strategies may invest in a selection of unit trusts, investment trusts and open-ended investment companies (OEICs) that have been researched by our fund analysts. These combine Active funds where the fund manager chooses investments that they think will perform better than the market generally, and Passive Funds which typically aim to follow the market. Information about investments can be found in the Frequently Asked Questions. All strategies are designed to achieve growth and you should be willing to remain invested for at least five years.
Your portfolio is unique to you and its performance may be different to that of other clients’ portfolios, even when invested in the same strategy.
With investing, your capital is at risk, which means you could get back less than you put in. Any potential returns shown during the account sign-up process or elsewhere in the App/website are an illustration only and are not guaranteed. Whilst care has been taken to present illustrations that we believe are realistic, they are based on historic investment performance and this may not be achieved in the future.
6. TIMING AND
REBALANCING
We only buy or sell investments once per week, therefore there may be a short delay between us receiving your money and it being invested.
We may decide to keep some of your money in cash if we do not feel it is the right time to invest.
Portfolios are adjusted weekly (rebalanced), as necessary, to keep the amount of each investment in line with our target weightings.If any sales are required, they will be dealt and then the money reinvested once the sale has settled. This means that you will not be fully invested during a rebalancing.
7. CHARGES
Our charges are disclosed on our website and in the App.
Your Silo Account is constructed of units in investment funds, which have annual charges that are separate from our charges.You don’t see those charges as they are deducted from the value of the units we buy for you.In selecting the funds for your account we aim to choose those with annual fund charges below 0.25%.Details of the charges within each fund are available on request by contacting [email protected].
There are no transaction charges.
Our charges are calculated daily and collected from your account once per month.
Charges are taken from available cash on your account. If there is no cash or it is insufficient to cover the charge, we will sell some of your investments and by accepting these Terms you give your authorisation for this to happen.
If for any reason you do not have enough cash in your account and the value of your investments is insufficient to meet any charges due, you agree to pay us on demand the amount of any such shortfall.
If you want to withdraw all your money, we will sell all your investments, then work out the charges due up to that point in time and collect it before paying the rest of the money back to your Bank Account.
We have the right to amend the charges for the Services in the future and will give you reasonable notice if this is going to be the case. If you continue using the Services after we have told you about a change in charges, you must pay those charges for the Services.
8. MAKING PAYMENTS & AUTHORISATION
All payments are collected by Direct Debit.You must set up a monthly Direct Debit to begin using the services.There is a minimum Direct Debit amount, which we may change from time to time and if we do we will tell you.If you choose to use the Intelligent Siloing function, additional weekly Direct Debits will be collected where the amount will vary.
If you are using Intelligent Siloing, we will earmark up to a maximum of £10 per Business Day which will be collected in the weekly Direct Debit collection. You can set a lower or higher daily limit if you wish. We will only ever take, having analysed your bank account and spending habits, what we believe you can afford to save. We will only collect an Intelligent Siloing amount if, at the point of collection, the balance of your bank account is £150 or more.
You acknowledge that the amount and frequency of each Direct Debit may vary. We will tell you by email three days before we initiate the request to take money from your account and you will have the ability to stop the payment if you do not want us to take it. You will be able to see all the amounts we have saved for you on the App.
Direct debit will only physically remove money from your Bank Account once it has earmarked a minimum of £2. Until that point, the money will stay in your Bank Account, but you will be able to see the pending amounts via the App.
You are responsible for determining whether the amounts Intelligent Siloing from your Bank Account are acceptable to you. We are not responsible for any third-party fees that you might get charged as a result of using the Services. You can ask for your money back at any time, see Section 10.
In addition to Intelligent Siloing you may make payments to your Silo Account from your Bank Account at any time using the Boost function, which is simply an additional variable direct debit payment.
Direct Debit processing is done via Access Systems (UK) Limited. They will use and retain certain of your personal data in order to process the payments.
9. INTEREST AND
DIVIDENDS
Interest may be paid to us by banks with which we deposit client money and will be retained by KISL Interest is not paid on any cash balances in your Silo Account.
Dividends or other income received from your investments will be credited to your account on the day of receipt, wherever practicable, but no later than ten Business Days after receipt.
We will not credit to you and will be entitled to retain fractions of a penny or fractions of units arising from dividends, other income or corporate actions where we cannot reasonably allocate these to your account.
10. TAKING MONEY
OUT
Your money will remain in your Silo Account until you instruct us to pay any or all of it from your Silo Account to your Bank Account. Withdrawals can only be requested by you logging into the App. We will generally pay amounts held in cash within two Business Days of receiving your request.

If you do not have enough money in your Silo Account to cover the amount of the requested payment, your request for the payment will be declined.
Except in the case of ISA transfers (See Section 12), we will only pay money back to your own personal Bank Account. We will not pay to anyone else.

When we buy or sell investments for you, we will provide a further weekly online report with details of those transactions.
If you have a non-ISA account, once a year we will provide a tax statement to show what tax has been automatically collected from your investments. You may need this statement for your personal tax return.
We will send you an email to let you know when there is a new communication to view. Reports are stored within the App. You may also wish to print and save and/or electronically store a copy of these Communications.

12. ISA AND JISA TERMS
You can save and invest with us using a Silo ISA, General Investment Account(GIA) or both. If you open an ISA, the Terms of Section 12 also apply and form part of your Agreement with us.
Registration
Your Silo ISA must always be in your personal ownership and must not be used as security for a loan.
A person aged 16 years or older may apply to be a registered contact for a JISA.
Your ISA investments will be registered in the name of Killik Nominees Limited.
ISA and JISA Limits
The amount that can be invested in an ISA each year is set by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). You are responsible for ensuring that you do not exceed the annual limits. You must not subscribe to a Silo ISA if you have already subscribed to another stocks and shares ISA in the same tax year or if you have used up your annual allowance in a cash ISA in the current tax year.
Subscriptions to an ISA must be from your own funds.
Transferring an existing ISA or JISA
Transferring existing ISAs to the Silo ISA are permitted in cash only. We cannot accept transfers of existing assets.
ISA and JISA Management
We will make claims, conduct appeals and reach agreement on your behalf for tax reliefs in your ISA. This will mean passing information about your investments to HMRC.
If an investment in your ISA ceases to be allowed by the ISA rules, we will sell the investment and buy a replacement that is allowed.
We will notify you if for any reason or failure to satisfy the provisions of the HMRC ISA Regulations, your ISA has, or will, become void.
ISA or JISA withdrawals
You may request some or all of your ISA to be paid to you at any time. If the money is paid to your bank account it will no longer be inside an ISA and you will lose the tax benefits
For a JISA only the child will have access to the money and this will be ‘locked in’ until the child reaches 18. At age 18, the JISA will mature and will automatically convert into an ISA account, and the child will be entitled to the benefits – he or she will be able to take the money out or, if available, we will offer them the chance to reinvest the proceeds in a suitable investment.
The registered contact may be allowed early access to the JISA if the child becomes terminally ill. In this instance you may make a claim to HMRC to be allowed access to the funds within the child’s JISA. You will be able to make withdrawals of cash from the JISA for the benefit of the child if you have received a letter from HMRC authorising that such withdrawals may be made.
ISA Closure
If you wish to close your ISA, you can tell us to transfer your money to another ISA provider, or pay the cash to your Bank Account. Transfers to another ISA provider can only be made in cash. If the money is paid to your Bank Account it will no longer be inside an ISA and you will lose your ISA tax benefits. We will aim to complete closure requests within 30 days of receiving your instructions. There is no charge for transferring out your ISA, taking money out of your ISA or closing your account.
ISA Termination
Your ISA automatically ends if you die. We will stop reclaiming tax on any income distributions received after the date of your death and will repay to HMRC any tax refunds already received in respect of income paid after the date of your death.
The ISA will be valued for probate as at the date of death, and dealt with as instructed by the executors.
We may bring this ISA Agreement to an end if, in our opinion, new laws or regulations make it impractical to continue. We shall not be responsible for any loss or inconvenience that results. If we decide to stop acting as an ISA manager, we will give you at least 30 days’ notice in writing.
For JISAs and for deaths that arose on or before 5 April 2018, the JISA or ISA automatically comes to an end. We stop reclaiming tax on any income distributions received after the date of death and will repay to HMRC any tax refunds already received in respect of income paid after the date of death.
HM Revenue & Customs Regulations
The administration of your ISA shall be subject to the Rules and Regulations of HM Revenue & Customs.

Access to your account is protected by your username and PIN that you set when you register for a Silo Account. If your mobile device is lost or stolen or if you suspect someone has gained unauthorised access to your username or PIN, you must contact us immediately at [email protected]. In order for us to take any action, you will need to provide certain User Information so that we can verify your identity. You should not tell anyone your username or PIN or allow them to access the App on your behalf. You are responsible for keeping your username and PIN and other User Information safe.
We look after the security of information held within the App to try to prevent anyone other than you and us being able to see your data. We only use and store your information for the purposes of providing you with our Services. We will never give your information to anyone else, unless we are required to by law or regulation, or unless it is necessary to providing the Services.

14. KEEPING YOUR
CASH AND
INVESTMENTS SAFE
Any cash in your Silo Account is treated as Client Money under the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) rules, which means it will be kept separate from our own money. Your money will be held in a Client Money bank account and will be pooled with other Silo clients. We will choose the banks we use carefully. In the event of a bank’s failure (it goes bust), your claim will be for a share of the cash held in all pooled accounts at the bank. In such an event, you are protected up to the value of £85,000 by the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
Your investments will be registered in the name of Killik & Co Nominees Limited in accordance with the safe custody rules of the FCA. This means they are kept separate from our own investments. Investments are pooled with other Silo clients. We make sure that at all times we know which investments belong to which client and are required to make regular reports to the FCA that this is the case.
In the unlikely event that we went bust and were unable to pay any claims against us, you may be entitled to compensation from FSCS for investments up to a value of £50,000.
15. REGULATORY
PROTECTION
We will treat you as a ‘Retail Client’ which means you get the highest level of protection under the FCA’s rules.
We try to avoid business activities that could create a conflict of interest with our clients. Details of where and how conflicts may arise and how we try to manage them are set out in our Conflicts Policy which is available at: https://www.silo.co.uk/conflicts-of-interest-policy/
16. CLOSING YOUR
ACCOUNT
You may stop using the Services, close your Silo Account, and cancel these Terms at any time by cancelling the Services via the App. We do not charge any closure fees.
If you change your mind and cancel the Services within 14 days of signing up, you will not be charged any fees. However, if we have already invested your money, you could get back less than you put in.
If there are any transactions in progress when we receive your cancellation request, we will close your Silo Account promptly after these transactions are completed.
We will sell your investments and pay your money to your Bank Account. If your Bank Account is closed or we are otherwise unable to pay the money in your Silo Account to your Bank Account, we will send a cheque to you at your residential address in our records.
We may end this Agreement or suspend your use of the Services at short notice if required by law or if we suspect the Services are being used for unlawful, immoral or unethical reasons or otherwise in violation of these Terms.
If we wish to end or suspend our Agreement with you for any other reason, we will give you 30 calendar days’ notice.
When ending or suspending this Agreement for any reason, we will not have any obligations to you for any consequences or inconvenience it may cause.
We are not obliged to tell you the reason for closing or suspending your account and there may be certain circumstances where we are prevented by law from doing so.
If we decide to close your Silo Account, we will sell your investments and pay your money to your Bank Account.
If you die whilst a client, we will stop managing your investments (including portfolio rebalancing) until your personal representatives (e.g. your executors) have contacted us and proved who they are. Our fees will continue to be charged to your account.
17. TRANSFER OF
CLIENT MONEY
If at some point in the future KISL transfers all or part of its business to a third party, it may transfer client money to that third party without seeking your prior consent. You would of course be notified that the transfer was taking place. We will also ensure that the person we transfer the money to is subject to the FCA’s rules on keeping client money safe and has appropriate arrangements in place to do so.
18. UNCLAIMED
MONEY
Under current FCA rules, if we lose contact with you for six years or more, then provided we have made reasonable attempts to trace you and return your money to you, we may pay that money to a registered charity of our choice.
If the amount is £25 or more we will keep records indefinitely relating to the transactions and our attempts to contact you.All transactions and the keeping of records in relation to unclaimed client money will be carried out in compliance with the prevailing FCA Rules.
19. UNCLAIMED
ASSETS
Under current FCA rules, if we lose contact with you for 12 years or more, then provided we have made reasonable attempts to trace and contact you we may either:
- give your investments to a registered charity of our choice; or
- sell your investments and pay the proceeds to a registered charity of our choice.
