Investment planning.
Investing your money is one of the most important things to think about, but also one of the most daunting. Rather than allowing your savings to sit idle in a bank account, no doubt you would want to make it grow and accumulate wealth for the future.
How to make the most from your investments
The key is knowing where to invest and ensuring every pocket of money is correctly placed to allow for the best potential long-term results. This doesn't necessarily mean earning the most from your savings in terms of interest, but also maximising your tax efficient allowances, reducing tax and strategically minimising your inheritance tax due. You could save thousands of pounds every year with the right strategy.
There are two ways that investments can benefit you: Accumulation where you are building wealth from your investment, and Decumulation where you’re reaping the rewards of your investment and accessing what you’ve built in life - and perhaps using it as income in retirement. Both are just as important as the other, but the key is determining the priority order and considering what’s most important to you right now and balancing that with what you want in the future.
The value of an investment with St. James's Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds selected and the value may therefore fall as well as rise. You may get back less than you invested.
An investment in equities does not provide the security of capital associated with a deposit account with a bank or building society.
The levels and bases of taxation, and reliefs from taxation, can change at any time. The value of any tax relief depends on individual circumstances.
Some of the services we can offer you
Stocks and shares ISA
ISAs (Individual Savings Accounts) are one of the most popular ways to invest money. They are relatively straightforward to set up, and you can benefit from tax savings on your investment income. There are different types of ISAs, such as Stocks and Shares ISAs, Cash ISAs, and Innovative Finance ISAs, and we will work closely with you to determine the best fit for you and your financial goals.
Bonds (offshore and onshore)
There is no shortage of investment opportunities both here in the UK and across the world. With the right strategies and team by your side, you can reap many benefits such as tax benefits and asset protection. Offshore bonds also give you access to a wider range of investment opportunities not available in the UK.
Junior ISA
A Junior ISA allows you to invest money for your children or grandchildren’s future, such as university, college or purchasing their first property. The money belongs to the child but remains ‘locked’ and cannot be withdrawn until they turn 18.
Trusts
Trusts are an excellent way to plan for the future and longevity of your investment. By setting up a trust, you can preserve your wealth across generations and protect your assets, not only from inheritance tax after your passing, but also during your lifetime against divorce proceedings, bankruptcy orders - or simply being spent or squandered.
Investment transfers
Investment transfers involve moving money from one investment to another. For example, perhaps money has been sitting somewhere for a while and not gaining much momentum. We can help you gain a better understanding of where your wealth is and whether you could benefit from transferring to another account. We always carry out careful due diligence to ensure whether it’s the right move for you. Start making the most from your investments.
