Latest UK & International Investment and Savings News

The proposal to introduce a Junior ISA in the UK has been widely welcomed and investment firms say they will be offered at the launch date on November 01.

New research reveals the number of investors who bought their last ISA online via a fund supermarket or broker has increased by 37% in the last year to more than one in two.

With 16 million British people having no savings at all, the forthcoming budget represents a vital opportunity for the government and savings providers to focus on the future of Britain's savers, it is claimed.

More than a third of all savers in Wales are failing to take advantage of individual tax free savings scheme with the nation turning its back on earning around an estimated £4.8 million more interest in an ISA each year than in an ordinary savings account, according to new research.

Up coming changes to the 40% income tax threshold in the UK which comes into force next month will have important implications for savers in terms of when their accounts pay interest, according to experts.
