INVESTMENT & SAVINGS

A significant number of people nowadays have substantial savings, often deposited in the bank or building society.

Whilst falling interest rates are good news for those with a mortgage, savers have seen their returns dwindle. In many cases, retired people rely on the interest from their savings to supplement their pension income and the prospect of lower and lower interest rates over the next few years is not at all welcome.

The Choices
There are so many choices when it comes to investments.

Do you use:

  • Banks
  • Building Societies
  • Insurance Companies
  • Friendly Societies

Should you invest your money in:

  • Deposit Accounts
  • National Savings
  • Stocks & Shares
  • Unit Trusts
  • Bonds
  • Gilts
  • Investment Trusts
  • OIECS
  • TESSAs
  • ISAs

Not only do you find yourself having to consider all of these, but your age, tax position, personal circumstances, and simply the kind of person you are (cautious, risk-taker, or a bit of both) should all have a bearing on the choice you make.
