Savings and investments vary greatly in terms of where the money is invested and what they aim to achieve, with options to suit most people’s objectives. Whether you want to save for school fees, a deposit for a house or an extravagant holiday, it is essential that you hold investments that match your personal attitude to risk and take the best advantage of your taxation status.
With the options of leaving it in the bank, taking out an ISA, investing in a unit trusts and more, there are lots of options to choose from. Diversification can spread the risk and limit your exposure to one particular area.

Investments
Whether you want to save for school fees, a deposit for a house or an extravagant holiday, it is essential that you hold investments that match your personal attitude to risk and take advantage of your taxation status.
Take advantage of your Individual Savings Account (ISA) allowance each year, to make sure more of your savings or investments are benefitting from the tax breaks available.
This depends on the type of savings or investment product you have. Some, such as Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) are tax free, but there are maximum amounts that can be invested each tax year. Our advisers can help find the most appropriate savings or investments solution to meet your objectives.
This will depend on who you hold the investments with. Some funds may have exit penalties if money is withdrawn within a certain timescale. However, even if you are able to access your money easily, if you are considering investing it should be with money that you don’t have any plans for over the next few years, as most investments should be viewed as medium to long term.
The level of risk will differ depending on which assets your funds invest into and in what proportion. Over the longer term, investments have the potential to outperform the returns from other deposit based accounts, but the money you invest will also be at risk of dropping in value. Our advisers will take the time to understand your attitude to investment risk so that investment solutions recommended are suitable.
