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.

FCS Transitional Arrangements
Steve Bailey Compliance Update
As you will be aware the Financial Services Authority ceased to be and the Financial Conduct Authority took over the regulation of financial advice firms on 01 April 2013.
The FSA issued PS13/05 last week which includes updated rules and transition arrangements. The policy statement itself is 88 pages but the ‘appendix (3)’ that accompanies it is a mere 1990 pages so you must excuse us for not as yet absorbing every word. The document can be seen here.
