ISAs
Confusion reigns regarding increased ISA allowances for over 50s
ISA limits are being increased to £10,200 for the over 50s, but worryingly a research conducted shows that over half (54%) have no idea what the new limits will be. A further two fifths (41%) know the limit is increasing, but did not know by how much.
Older savers benefit from new ISA allowances
UK investors may not have had much to cheer about this year but raising the investment limits on ISAs is at least some good news – especially for the over 50s.
