Home in on the best deal
Article Abstract:
There are now many different mortgage products to choose from in the UK, and making the right choice can be very difficult. The decision will be largely determined by the individual's circumstances and attitude to risk. The most popular mortgage types are interest-only, repayment, with-profits endowments, personal equity plan and pension. With-profits endowments offer valuable life cover, while pension mortgages are best suited to those who are highly paid and have high net worth.

ISAmania is taking the banking world by storm
Article Abstract:
The UK's high street banks and building societies have attracted most of the money invested so far in Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs). In contrast, sales of life assurance ISAs have been limited. The unit trust industry saw around 670,000 equity ISA accounts opened in Apr 1999, most of which were Maxi ISAs. It seems that most ISAs have been taken out through tied sales forces or by direct investment. This is the case with around 70% of equity ISAs.
