I fully understand where you are coming from,but there are procedures and very stringent safe guards in place . Especially where private client funds are involved. As for the fca that is another story.
Put it this way i have 100 % confidence that my shares held in a nominee account are completly segregated from stock lending. i.e they are Crest held in an individual membership account. Worst case scenario would be i could not trade them should the whole financial system collapse.
There is also the option of materialising them and having a good old share certificate. Something which i have always preferred.
