Fixed interest v equity income

Article Abstract:

New investors taking out United Kingdom individual savings accounts (Isas) may be initially attracted to cash Isas, which are offering high rates of interest. There has been a move away from equity income funds and toward cash and bonds, especially after the abolition of Advance Corporate Tax from April 6 1999. A limited tax credit will still be available for Isa holders invested in equities, but funds paying interest benefit from a higher tax credit than those paying dividends. Equity investors may still see a better performance over the long term.
