It is important to be aware of the following risks:

This is for information purposes and does not constitute financial advice, which should be based on your individual circumstances.

The value of investments may go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. An investment in a Stocks & Shares ISA will not provide the same security of capital associated with a Cash ISA. The favourable tax treatment of ISAs may be subject to changes in legislation in the future. The levels and bases of taxation, and reliefs from taxation, can change at any time. The value of any tax relief depends on individual circumstances. Investing in shares should be regarded as a long-term investment and should fit in with your overall attitude to risk and financial circumstances.

A pension is a long-term investment, the value is not guaranteed and the value of your investment and the income from it may go down as well as up. Any advice or considerations are personal to each individual’s circumstances. Your eventual income may depend upon the size of the fund at retirement, future interest rates and tax legislation. Levels and bases of, and reliefs from taxation are subject to change and their value depends on the individual circumstances of the investor. Your pension income could also be affected by the interest rates at the time you take your benefits. The tax implications of pension withdrawals will be based on your individual circumstances, tax legislation and regulation which are subject to change in the future.
