Investments & Savings

 

In the 2023/24 Tax Year, you have an allowance of £20,000 you can invest into an ISA, and you do not pay any personal tax on any income or gains you receive. There are different types of ISAs that you can contribute to, such as a Stocks & Shares investment ISAs, Cash ISAs, Lifetime ISAs and Innovative Finance ISAs.

Alternatively if you have a larger amount to invest, you can invest into a General Investment Account/Unit Trust/Open Ended Investment Company (OEIC). We can complete research into and recommend the fund or funds most suitable to meet your attitude to investment risk and investment objectives.

 

 

Investment bonds are single premium life assurance policies, which are either:

• Unit-linked - in which your premium is invested into underlying funds and fluctuate to the market movement
• With-profits - in which the sum assured will increase with paid bonuses related to the company's profits.

 

Offered by commercial banks and building societies, you can deposit cash into a variety of savings accounts with a fixed interest rate of interest for a specified period. There are also Cash ISAs available with similar fixed interest rates. We can research into the best fixed interest-rate available for deposit accounts or Cash ISAs for you and assist with your application.

 

 

You may be questioning whether your investments are performing as they should, or if you are paying too much in annual charges. By recording your attitude to risk and investment objectives, we can then research and compare your existing funds against their standard benchmarks and potentially recommend other funds that match your objectives and risk profile, to potentially provide better return and reduce annual charges.

 

There are also Managed Portfolio Services, in which investment companies offer a range of portfolios that differ in investment objectives and risk profiles. We can carry out research to determine if these would be suitable to your requirements.

 

 

With certain financial instruments, you may be subject to Capital Gains Tax on potential income or gains you receive.  To mitigate this, we can provide reviews and tailored advice before any withdrawal is made, by accessing the impact this request will have and how you may mitigate the tax you will need to pay.
