- FSCS protection: Lightyear is protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). FSCS deposit protection applies to client money only where held with UK banks, not where held in QMMFs. [Learn more here](/help/deposits-conversions-and-withdrawals/how-are-my-assets-protected).

### Safeguarding your assets

FSCS protection applies to client money only where held with UK banks, not where held in QMMFs. [Learn more here](/help/deposits-conversions-and-withdrawals/how-are-my-assets-protected).

- Your assets are yours, no one else's: You are the beneficial owner of all your investments, and your assets are held in separate accounts. Your assets can't be touched by our creditors and in the unlikely event of Lightyear's insolvency, everything is returned to you.

### What are the fees?

For Ready-made Plans, there are no buy or sell fees. Annual fund manager fees apply.

### How do I create a Ready-made plan?

It only takes a few taps! Head to the Portfolio page on Lightyear and tap 'Create a Plan'. From there, choose Ready-made Plans, pick the risk level that suits you, and you're set. 

You can also set up auto-invest, allowing you to sit back and relax, while your portfolio grows in the background.

### What account types are Ready-made Plans supported in?

Ready-made Plans are available across all account types and in all of Lightyear’s active markets.

### What do Ready-made Plans invest in?

Each plan is built around a single, carefully selected fund from BlackRock or Vanguard, two of the world's biggest asset managers. Moderate and Growth plans use iShares Portfolio ETFs, while the All-World plan uses Vanguard's FTSE All-World ETF. All three give you broad diversification, based on your risk appetite.

### What should I take into account when choosing a Ready-made Plan to invest in?

The main thing to consider is your risk appetite and goals. Moderate Mix is designed for those who want steadier, more conservative exposure. Growth suits those comfortable with more market movement. All-World gives you exposure to a stocks-only Plan. 

Whichever you choose, be sure to look through the Plan details on Lightyear to make an informed decision. Lightyear doesn't offer investment advice.
