    When someone talks about savings and saving money, it could be referring to a piggy bank on the mantelpiece or a high interest deposit account. Savings are effectively cash or cash instruments, such as deposit accounts or term bonds.

    Investing is what you can do with the savings you have created - if you are looking to generate a greater return on your money than is available to you through your savings instruments.Read More

    No tax is popular but Inheritance Tax seems to provoke the most resentment.

    After all, having built your capital suffering tax at up to 45% your heirs will lose another 40%.

    The good news is this tax is designed to be avoided, provided you take action early. Government policy is to get capital moving down the generations so gifts made regularly from income or more than seven years before death are not taxed at all. Read More

    Needing long term care can be a difficult and worrying time, both for the person needing care and for family or legal representatives such as attorneys.

    Some people choose to go into a care home; others reach a point where there is no choice. However you reach this point, a deep financial understanding of the costs and resources with which to pay is essential.

Collectives

THE VALUE OF INVESTMENTS AND THE INCOME THEY PRODUCE CAN FALL AS WELL AS RISE. YOU MAY GET BACK LESS THAN YOU INVESTED.

TAX TREATMENT VARIES ACCORDING TO INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES AND IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

Collective Investments

With a collective investment your money is pooled, along with that of other investors, to create a large capital sum. Professional fund managers then use this capital sum to build up a large portfolio of investments. This approach enables you, indirectly, to hold a wide range of stocks and shares or other investments in a way which would not be practical for the majority of individual investors, whilst reducing the effects on your capital of fluctuations in individual share values.

Collectives can also invest in fixed interest instruments. These include UK government stock, also known as gilt edged stock or "gilts" for short. Corporate bonds are also fixed interest instruments and both represent direct borrowing on the part of the issuer of the bonds. They are referred to as "fixed interest" because their cost of borrowing is fixed, while the price of the bonds themselves may float up or down depending on supply and demand.

Traditionally, fixed interest investments have been regarded as a safe option. However it is important to remember that not only do they fluctuate in price, but also that the investor risks that the issuer may not be able to pay the interest (coupon) on the bonds, or the principal when the bonds mature.

With a collective investment your capital can benefit from expert full time investment management, reducing the risk and complexities of direct investment into equities. Your money becomes part of a much larger investment portfolio with much larger individual investments, as well as more individual holdings.

Not all the money in collective investments will be invested. The managers will normally hold a small amount of capital in cash to help pay for costs and to provide money for investors who want to sell units in the investment. In circumstances where there has been a reduction in fund values and/or the funds receive a large number of requests, fund managers may delay or postpone withdrawals to avoid having to sell investments and undervalue. This can be of particular importance to investments that invest in illiquid or difficult to sell assets, e.g. commercial property.
