Investment ISA
Brewin Dolphin’s Investment ISA offers you a choice of six ready-made portfolios to choose from at various risk levels. You can start investing from £500 and you will pay no income tax or capital gains tax on your investment returns.
This tax efficiency allows your money to work harder for you, potentially paying out more than a normal cash ISA. This year’s ISA limit is a generous £20,000, or (£40,000 for a married couple).
Junior Investment ISA
Brewin Dolphin’s Junior Investment ISA is a highly tax-efficient way to put money away for your loved ones as you’ll pay no income or capital gains tax on any returns you earn. Money invested could be used to pay for future university fees, your child’s first car or starting on the property ladder.
Start with a lump sum or from as little as just £1. The investment limit is £9,000 for the 2023/24 tax year. Your child gets access to the money as soon as they turn 18.
Other Services
As well as its Investment ISA, the company offer a range of managed portfolio services, wealth advisory and discretionary fund management services.
