Disclaimer (Please Read)
Please bear in mind that:
- Investment ISAs are designed as medium to long term investments, for example at least five years.
- The value of your investment and the level of any income received from it can fall as well as rise and is not guaranteed and you may not get back the amount of your original investment.
- The tax efficiency of ISAs is based on current tax law and there is no guarantee that tax rules will stay the same in the future.
- The list of funds provided above should not be seen in any way as being a recommendation. No advice has been given and you should be aware that any investment which takes place will be transacted on an “execution only” basis.
- Full details of the funds, including investment performance statistics and risk profile will be provided in the documentation/brochure sent to you and it is up to you to ensure that you fully understand the nature of investment before proceeding. If you are at all unsure of the suitability of the type of investment, both in respect of its objectives and its risk profile, you should seek independent financial advice.
- Any income yield quoted is correct at the time of going to press. Income yields vary and are only estimates. The actual dividend income that you receive will depend upon the income payable by the underlying assets of the fund and could change, either up or down, at any time. Dividend income from an ISA will, under current legislation, be free of UK income tax. Dividend income paid from a fund not held within an ISA will be subject to income tax, which may or may not be reclaimable depending upon your circumstances and the type of investment. In some cases, there may be additional income tax to pay.
- If you choose a fund which invests overseas, there is the addition of “exchange rate” risk which could reduce any gains or increase losses if the currency moves against you.
