NISA Changes

30 June 2014 David Anderson Suitability

As you know, the government announced in the 2014 Budget that from the 1st July 2014, ISAs (Individual Savings Account) will be reformed into a new, simpler product, the ‘New ISA’ (NISA) with equal limits for Cash, and Stocks and Shares. Not only is the ISA (or NISA) savings limit being increased to £15,000, any money held in a Stocks and Shares NISA can be transferred to a Cash NISA.

For more information on the changes please read the following fact sheet: NISA Fact Sheet

These changes will be introduced into ATEB suitability this evening, ready for use tomorrow morning.
