Please remember: not all accounts will be suitable for all investors; if in doubt you should consult an independent financial adviser. The benefits of tax-efficient accounts will vary according to your individual circumstances; the level of tax allowances and the way in which they are applied may change.

The value of investments may fall as well as rise and you may get back less than you originally invested. Limited liability instruments mean that you cannot lose more than you have invested. The risks associated with different instruments will vary; you should choose investments appropriate to your needs and consider your overall mix of different investment types.
