Investments

Whether you’ve received an inheritance, won the lottery, or built up a nest egg by saving on a regular basis, your money should be wisely invested so that its spending power is protected for the future.

Banks and building societies are regarded as the traditional safe haven for your money. It is good practice to keep some money on deposit for your short term and emergency needs. However, for larger sums, this may not be the best long term answer. Over recent years we have seen interest rates falling sharply. Deposit accounts may not even be keeping the value of your money in line with inflation.

Many people recognize that to achieve better long term protection for their money against the effects of inflation, it is worth considering ‘equity’ related investments. These investments are linked to changes in the value of company shares. You could gain access to the ‘equity’ markets either directly through buying shares or indirectly by investing in investment products like Unit Trusts, Investment Trusts or maybe even a Life Assurance policy. This section provides access to information on many of the available investment products.

Please note that past performance is not necessarily a guide to future returns. The value of your investments can fall as well as rise.
