Publisher's Synopsis
This sixth edition, like its predecessors, aims to help the potential investor and/or saver find the best home for their money. The book uses a step-by-step approach that deals first with the basics of saving and investing, including strategy, choices and getting advice, before moving on to traditional areas of investment, such as building societies, banks and national savings. This edition re-evaluates saving strategies in the light of the current economic climate, takes a close look at the rise of investment trusts, what new privatization offers are coming up, re-visits PEPs and other tax-efficient ways to save, assesses the recent problems with home equity plans and covers all the provisions of the 1992 Finance Act.
