There's absolutely no reason why you can't have both a savings account and an ISA at the same time, so you need to work out which is more beneficial to you. This will depend on your personal circumstances.
If you want to buy a home then getting a Help to Buy ISA will pay you a bonus from the Government in addition to any interest, but you can only use it toward purchase of a home. The Lifetime ISA for the under 40s also pays a bonus, so if you are eligible for one it is worth considering.
Both ISAs and the Personal Savings Allowance offer you tax benefits from saving, but you have to consider the pros and cons and see which will best fit your situation – especially if you can save less than the ISA allowance.
If you will potentially exceed either or both your annual ISA allowance or Personal Savings allowance it makes sense to use both to maximise the amount of interest you can earn tax free.
Stocks and shares ISAs can be a good investment for many reasons. If time is on your side, investing can be a great way to help you achieve your long-term financial goals as you can ride out any market fluctuations. However, investments can fall as well as rise and you may get back less than you invest.
Then there are the tax breaks. You’ll benefit from tax-free income, capital gains and dividends.
Many people are understandably anxious about investing because they think it’s too complex. But if you’re new to it, there are some easy ways to get started, such as ready-made funds run by experts.
Stocks and shares ISAs are only a good investment if you manage risk sensibly. The greater the risk, the greater profit you’re likely to make but the more you’re also likely to lose. And remember to factor in additional costs when planning your investments, such as admin charges and fund management fees.
The golden rule of investing is to spread the risk. Be sure to balance your portfolio with a mix of equities, bonds and cash spread across different industrial sectors and geographical areas.
