Lessons in self-awareness
Article Abstract:
Many British investors appear to be using stocks rather than traditional savings accounts, and there are bargains among old economy stocks due to a shift in fashion toward technology stocks. Active investors can self-select stocks for British individual savings accounts (Isas). The investment limit for an Isa is 7,000 pounds sterling for 1999-2000, falling to 5,0000 from the following year. Investors can benefit from avoiding capital gains tax avoidance by using Isas for self-select investments. Investors should bear in mind their interests and risk profiels when developing a self-select portfolio.
