Investment Protection Services

Deposit Guarantee Scheme (DGS) Protection

At Ark Investments, your deposits benefit from the European Deposit Guarantee Scheme (DGS), which provides protection of up to €100,000 for individual accounts and up to €200,000 for joint accounts. This scheme is designed to safeguard eligible deposits held within authorised financial institutions, offering an essential safety net in the unlikely event of a bank failure. The DGS exemplifies our commitment to ensuring the security and peace of mind of our clients’ investments.

Your Funds

Your investments are held in regulated, segregated accounts managed directly by the banks issuing your bonds. This separation ensures your funds remain protected and cannot be used as company assets.

Tier 1 Bonds

Tier 1 bonds are high-quality, senior debt instruments issued by financially strong institutions. They offer stable returns and rank highly in the capital structure, providing investors with enhanced security and priority in repayment.

Regulatory Safeguards Ensuring Financial Stability

As a firm authorised and regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland, Ark Investments operates under rigorous regulatory frameworks that prioritise financial stability and investor protection. These regulations impose strict capital adequacy requirements, operational controls, and risk management standards that collectively reduce the risk of insolvency. Our compliance with these measures ensures that your investments are protected, and the likelihood of financial failure or loss is minimised to the greatest extent possible.

AAA Rated Banks

AAA-rated banks are institutions with the highest creditworthiness, reflecting exceptional financial strength and stability. Investing through these banks provides superior security and confidence for your capital.

How Your Money Gets Invested

At Ark Investments, we prioritise capital preservation and transparency by investing your funds exclusively in bonds secured against the creditworthiness of AAA-rated banks. Unlike traditional investment vehicles, our bonds are not traded on the open market, which means they are not subject to the usual fluctuations and volatility associated with market trading.

Each bond is directly linked to the issuing bank’s credit history and financial standing, providing a robust foundation that underpins the security of your investment. This direct connection to the bank’s creditworthiness enables us to offer guaranteed rates of return, as your investment is backed by the institution’s established reputation and financial strength rather than speculative market conditions.

Furthermore, by avoiding exposure to open market trading, we reduce unnecessary risks and costs, ensuring that your returns are stable, predictable, and aligned with the bank’s performance. This approach allows us to maintain a clear and transparent investment structure, safeguarding your capital while delivering consistent income.

In summary, your money is invested in high-quality, tier 1 bond instruments issued by top-tier banks, held in segregated accounts, and fully protected under stringent regulatory frameworks. This combination of security, regulation, and direct bank backing is fundamental to how we guarantee the reliability and stability of your investment returns.
