Plan ahead to avoid a mid-school-life crisis
Article Abstract:
UK school fees tend to be paid from parents' income, and if this drops the children may have to move to state schools. Long-term planning is important to avoid this, and parents may not be able to send all their children to private schools. A financial adviser can help parents decide on investments to pay for school fees. Children may have to start school in the private sector at a later date if not enough funds are available. Investment portfolios can be built up using regular payments or using lump sums.

Execution-only services
Article Abstract:
Execution-only stockbroking services have increased in popularity in the UK and are suitable for active investors. Another term for this service is discount broking since it is cheaper than services including advice, but it is not suitable for investors who rarely buy shares. The largest such broker in the UK is ShareLink, which, along with Fidelity, has been a pioneer in the UK. Investors should ask a number of questions such as timing of deals since delays could cause problems when markets move rapidly.
