Emerging markets
Article Abstract:
Holders of United Kingdom individual savings accounts (Isas) may wish to invest in emerging markets, and they face fewer restrictions than they did with previous schemes offering tax benefits. This allows them to balance portfolios more easily and to select investments from a wider range of vehicles. Investment trusts offer advantages for investors compared with unit trusts since they are less restrictive. They also permit long-term decisions and planning compared to unit trusts where investments may be sold when uits are redeemed.

Cashing in
Article Abstract:
United Kingdom individual savings accounts (Isas) come in different forms, including cash Isas, which offer good rates and tax benefits. Investors with a preference for stocks should use maxi Isas. There is a wide range of mini cash Isas, and mini-Isas allow for specialist managers to be used for different components of the Isa investment. Maxi Isas do not offer such a wide choice, and may not offer as good interest rates for the cash element of the Isa.
