A few days ago they restricted, without warning, trading on 15 of my 18 investment trust holdings, including trusts such as JGGI, HEFT, FGT &c.. I can no longer add to my holdings. In fact, the only option I have is to sell the entire holding.
Hello Oswulf. That is annoying. I use IBKR and have a small position in FGT (and other Investment Trusts) and to the best of my knowledge haven't been notified of any restriction. IBKR periodically require clients to disclose how much experience they have of trading certain products. Maybe your disclosures are stale. If you can legitimately change those elections (e.g., state I have experience of investing in Equities for X+Y years rather than X years) then that might help. I forget the time buckets you can select from.
Best of luck,
