What is an ISA?

ISA stands for Individual Savings Account. ISAs are highly tax-efficient investments available to anyone over the age of 18.

Income and capital gains are free of tax, and you don’t even have to declare anything on your tax return.

Under current rules you can save up to £20,000 per tax-year, and this can be saved into cash or into a wide range of investment options.

Individual Savings Account (ISA)

Have you thought about what would happen to your income if you were unable to work?

If you’re employed you might only continue to be paid for a short time. If you’re self-employed you might not be able to earn anything.

Income Protection works by replacing a portion of your income after you have been unable to work for several months, or even several weeks.

We will only provide bespoke advice to you in writing but read on to learn more about term assurance and what it can do for you.

Benefits of an Individual Savings Account

There are not many tax-free* options when it comes to investing, which makes the humble ISA something special.

An ISA gives you access to tax-free* savings in cash, or the opportunity to invest in thousands of different retail investment funds. There are no restrictions on what you can do with the money, or when you can take it out, so they are very flexible products.

But remember that if you invest via the stock market your capital is at risk and you may get back less than you put in.

(*Strictly speaking, it is not entirely tax-free as tax is paid within the fund, but you do not pay tax on any income or capital gains, and you don’t even need to declare these on your tax return.)

Why might an ISA be right for you?

Are you self-employed?

If you are self-employed you won’t have an employer to pay you in the short term if you are unable to work.

Flexible cover to suit your needs

Some accidents might mean you can never work again, but you still have bills to pay. The right income protection policy can replace part of your income for the rest of your working life.

Options to suit you

Do you need your cover to increase or stay level? Do you need it for a short time or the rest of your life? Can you get by without an income for one month or six? We can match cover to your exact requirements.

What are the benefits of Individual Saving Accounts?

Income protection policies can help you maintain your essential income when an accident or illness leaves you unable to work.

Tax-efficient

Sleep well knowing you have protected your essential spending

We all have bills that have to be paid, such as mortgages or rent. Your income protection cover can be tailored to these essential costs, providing security of income.

Wide investment choice

Cover the essentials or as much as you can afford

Choose options at outset such as your indemnity period and term of cover to control your costs. Or go all in and make sure the cover lasts the rest of your working life.

Generous limits

Reliable cover to maintain your essential income

Insurance can be expensive, but when it is there to help it becomes priceless. You protect your home, your car and your life, but you need an income to pay for everything else. How will you protect that?
